June 09, 2009 When it Comes to Immigration, Our National Interest Should Come First There are more than 4 billion impoverished people living on the earth that could benefit by moving to the United States. Unfortunately, flooding the United States with illegal immigrants has unintended consequences and does nothing to empower nations to improve the welfare of their own citizens. Annette Cameron, writing for the Nashua Telegraph, thinks that it's time for our neighboring countries to start improving health care, education and job creation for their own citizens, and for the United States to consider the long-term impact of illegal immigration and start reversing the flood.
Sen. Reid and Illegal Immigration - Right in 1993, Wrong Today Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev.) introduced the Immigration Stabilization Act in the United States Senate in 1993. The bill was meant to overhaul the nation's immigration laws, and called for a massive scale-down of immigrants allowed into the country. The senator said the U.S. open door policy was being abused at the expense of honest, working citizens. So what changed since then? Why does Reid oppose programs he once sponsored now that the problem is seven times greater after 9/11? John Lillpop, in this interesting article, wonders how is it that Harry Reid was exactly right 16 years ago, but is so completely wrong now.
