No - there have always been issues and problems that the public is concerned about.

Consider just one aspect of our current policies and it might make a difference how you feel. Our current rate of legal immigration is at record levels that will make our population hit the 600 million mark within about 60 years. That means your children will likely have to live in this country with a very substandard level of existence.

At those levels we will face shortages of:
Water - we already have droughts and shortages all over
Energy - again we have no ability to meet current needs
Land - big country but most is too harsh
Recreation - what will happen to our parks, open spaces, etc?
Food - we outsource far too much farming already
Infrastructure - we have overcrowded schools, hospitals, roads, etc right now


So artificailly adding hundreds of millions of bodies who use scarce resources is not the best legacy to leave our children!

Lolwut! I dont think the average American really cares but if you want to argue a completely ironic position, tell them that Congress passed amnesty in the 1980s basically forgiving every illegal in the country and rumor is it they might do it again in the future.

The 'old' rate before 1987 was 300,000 a year. The new rate was something just under 1,000,000 a year, and they did not count on the immigrants bringing extended families in. If they had not had welfare, they would not have been able to sponsor those folks.

300,000 a year was accepted by Americans. The new figure, which amounted to over a million a year, was not.

Some of these sites have histories that are pretty good I think...
