I never thought about the immigration debate in terms of preserving anglo culture. That's interesting. What I am interested in, in terms of this particular debate, is the safety of our borders wrt terrorists, and the economic costs of illegal and legal immigration (what makes the best economic sense for America? Are we making money on immigrants- legal and or illegal? If so how much money? If they are a big net gain, let's keep them, and not worry about the problem- UNLESS it's a huge security hole. Then we have to balance the cost of messing with something (immigration) that is a net positive, against the potential (yes so far unexploited) security risks. If immigration is a negative economically, then it's win win on the security issue. But so far I haven't seen the matter explored in the realistic and in depth way I would like. Where are the facts- good facts, all encompassing facts- facts that take in to account the many sides of the problem? I've not see anyone present a picture that is anywhere near complete. I'm annoyed about that.
