We should favor young immigrants with many years of work ahead of them. We should favor immigrants who have demonstrated an ability to learn and work using English, which makes their future success more likely.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Our young immigrants have a lot to offer. They are motivated and hard-working, and in many cases have already contributed significantly to our society - by excelling in school, by volunteering in their communities, or by serving in the military.
We should not blur the lines between legal and illegal immigrants. Millions of people around the world have gone through the process to come here legally and they followed the rules that required them to pay a fee, learn English, and learn about American history and government.
Yes, many immigrants cherish the value of choice and opportunity and the value of education more than 7th or 8th generation Americans.
Rooted in the word 'history' is 'story.' And America's story is exceptional. It's amazing. Younger students should learn that we have always been and continue to be a land of immigrants - a land committed to bold new ideas.
Immigrants provide skills that we simply cannot afford to do without. They have contributed hugely to Britain's success.
A lot of schools benefit from parents who are first- or second-generation immigrants, who expect the best for their children.
I do favor guest workers, H1B visas and student visas.
We should embrace our immigrant roots and recognize that newcomers to our land are not part of the problem, they are part of the solution.
The U.S. tries to provide immigrants who grow up here with a world-class education and imbue them with the can-do attitude that has long defined American innovation.
Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country.
