Immigration was once needed to provide manpower, mostly unskilled labourers, for our westward expansion. That need no longer exists, and I favour slamming the "golden door" in the faces of further "wretched refuse"
(and I am, myself, of immigrant stock on the distaff side.)
By the way, all of us have lives of our own. No one is going to criticise or penalise you for infrequency of posting. I must admit that I cannot understand how some of our frequent posters find the time. Perhaps they are insomniacs who post instead of counting sheep.
The above having been said, welcome to The Apricity Forum. I hope that you will find our discussions interesting and occasionally worthy of comment.
