I think immigrants, when they're stressed, think that there's something wrong with America, when it's really just difficult to leave a country and all that you know.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Everyone has an opinion when it comes to immigration - strong, intense opinions.
The United States is historically a nation of immigrants.
America is this incredible mosaic of immigrants, so people really want to be anchored in some kind of culture as well as the one they are living in.
Finally, in my critique of the immigration image of America, it is also important to know that we're not only a nation of immigrants, but we are in some part a nation of emigrants, which often gets neglected.
People tend to forget that in our country, we'd pretty much all be immigrants, except for the Native Americans.
Immigration is the most explosive issue I've seen in my political career.
Tough times have always lent themselves to nativist sentiments and closed-door policies. But in the case of highly skilled immigrants, these policies are a recipe for stagnation.
Uncertainty and fear and ignorance about immigrants, about people who are different, has a history as old as our Nation.
Immigrants are people who leave one country, one society, and move to another society. But there has to be a recipient society to which the immigrants move.
I always heard that immigrants had a really hard life when they came to America.
