Some conservatives say that whether it's popular or unpopular, imposing strict limits on immigration is the right thing to do, and it must be defended.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Immigration should be enforced in a proportional and humane manner.
We all want our border to be secure. However, certain individuals use this argument to stop us from ever enacting immigration reform.
I'm in favor of immigration but we also need rules.
If we want to set and enforce a limit on immigration, we have to be willing to say no to would-be immigrants who look a lot like our own ancestors, not because there's anything wrong with them, but simply because admitting them would exceed our legal limit.
Immigration is a sensitive topic.
Everyone has an opinion when it comes to immigration - strong, intense opinions.
We must enforce the laws we have on the books, secure our borders, and deny special benefits to illegal immigrants such as in-state tuition rates. This approach is best for American citizens and is fair to those who have taken the time and effort to go through the legal immigration process.
I respect those who openly advocate for unlimited immigration to the United States. Open borders is an intellectually coherent, defensible position.
Immigration in America is a highly polarized issue and there are passionate views on both sides.
It is extremely dangerous to talk about limits or borders. It is vital, instead, that we remain completely open, that we are always involved, and that we aim to contribute personally in social events.
