> Many people think the same thing about illegal Mexican immigrants. But I've lived in Arizona, and I got to know quite a few. Most were hard working. I met a few willing to bum off the system. I also met quite a few legal citizens that bummed off the system. So I think your fear that the illegal immigrants will be receiving help from the state is unfounded.... Years ago I worked in a city where there were many illegal Mexican immigrants, and I worked alongside them in the factory where I worked, and my impression pretty much aligned with yours. But I still think that we should severely restrict the immigration of low-skilled, low-educated citizens of other countries. Roughly half of the population of the US has an IQ of 100 or below, and the number of jobs they are capable of doing is shrinking. I don't think it's fair that this segment of the market should be flooded with competition that will reduce wages and opportunities for our current citizens. My position is based on the premise that the aim of US immigration policy should be to benefit US citizens, rather than the citizens of other countries. I understand that many well-intentioned people disagree with me on that point, and I don't think they're horrible, heartless people because of it. I just happen to see things differently.
