I might agree to a slowdown in immigration or changing the formulas for who is allowed in but I don't want to cut it off. I wound want to cut it off for 2-3 years until we could put systems in place that better track what people are doing......to avoid situations where Saudi nationals are scheming to crash planes into the WTC. Once the systems were in place, I would keep immigration at a lower level than current rates. In too many cities, immigrant populations tax the physical infrastructure of the neighborhoods in which they choose to locate. Cities have a hard time keeping up with demand especially in those neighborhoods where a lot of illegals also settle. In addition, their first years here are typically when they take more from public services than they contribute in taxes........putting considerable pressure on social services provided by cities and states to keep up. ted
