zythryn, your quote...
''Many I would say that the United States society improved immensly by taking in many Norwegian and Irish. The hard work ethic of the Norwegians helped Minnesota immensly. And I feel the society is much 'richer' for the addition of a variety of people with different backgrounds.''
When did these people come to the US? How did their culture differ from those already here? Did these people readily assimilate with the others?
your quote...'' I also believe we need to allow many more legal immigrants''
How many more would please you? How will these people enrich our society to make it better? They will drive on our decaying bridges, drink our dwindling water, use our expensive health care system, bring some of their criminal gangs and drug culture with them. What exactly, do we get in return?
Please be specific about the benefits, I don't think ethnic food and a little dancing is a very good trade.
