Yes we are a nation of immigrants BUT the immigrants that started this nation were for the most part either self starters or desperately in need of a new life.
They brought skills and determination, yet even with that about 40% returned home, America was just to strange and different.
Taking in the young, the educated, those in their prime or with abundant knowledge makes sense. As cruel as it may sound taking in the elderly and chronically sick does not.
If this is our standard there will be much more agreement on letting them in. Self interest as a person or a nation still matters for both the nation and its people.
