There needs to be a complete moratorium on immigrants. Not one more person allowed in until everyone who isn't supposed to be here is sent home. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Same. I'm so sick of immigration and diversity. The left completely burned it out of me.
I want America for Americans.
Yup. We are a European centric nation. If that origin is lost than this country is gone.
Yupp. There's no non white nations that share our values. Everything America stands for goes away when it's no longer European centric.
What?? We really think that our country will still be America if it was run by Africans? Middle easterners? By Indians. Let's get real.
Let me bring in my based Eastern Europen wife first.
Warning: that hot Eastern European wife will turn into a large baked potato in 20 or 30 years :-)
Respectfully no. We got shit to fix first here. America First.
now you get it!!
We did back 100 years ago.
Immigration Act of 1924 The US Immigration Act of 1924, also known as the Johnson-Reed Act, was a significant piece of legislation that significantly restricted immigration to the United States. Here are the key points:
National Origins Quota: The act established a national origins quota system, which limited the number of immigrants allowed entry into the US based on the nationalities represented in the 1890 US census. This meant that immigrants from certain countries, particularly Southern and Eastern Europe, were severely restricted. Two Percent Quota: The quota provided immigration visas to two percent of the total number of people of each nationality in the US as of 1890. This effectively reduced immigration from these regions. Exclusion of Asians: The act completely excluded immigrants from Asia, a move that angered Chinese and Japanese communities already living in the US. Precedent for Future Restrictions: The 1924 act set a precedent for future immigration restrictions, including the Immigration Act of 1929, which made the quotas permanent and restricted immigration to 150,000 per year. These provisions were aimed at reducing immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe, which was seen as a threat to the “American stock” and the country’s cultural homogeneity. The act had a profound impact on the demographics of the US, leading to a significant decline in immigration from these regions and a shift towards immigration from Northern and Western Europe.
Context: The 1924 act built upon earlier restrictions, including the 1917 Immigration Act, which introduced a literacy test and increased taxes for new immigrants. The uncertainty generated by World War I and concerns about national security also contributed to the passage of more restrictive immigration laws.
Legacy: The US Immigration Act of 1924 remained in place until 1965, when the Immigration and Nationality Act abolished the national origins quota system and established a new system based on family reunification and employment needs. The act’s legacy continues to influence US immigration policy and debates to this day.

Sounds nice in theory , not very practical though to wait till every single person is removed before bringing in people that are needed that cant be found in the US.
It's impractical to maintain and regulate access to a nation and it's services? How the heck do other countries do it then...
My point is if we need certain people from other countries for the next little while then it doesnt make sense to not bring them in WHILST removing the unwanteds at the same time.
OP was stating it as Absolutely NO, we cant do this, we must remove everyone first.with NO EXCEPTIONS....it might take a while to do that.
We can be doing BOTH at the same time and keep the engine running.
These are temp visas and NOT citizenship papers.
If they can't be found then I guess you're gonna have to find somebody with the work ethic, treat them right, pay them a liveable wage, and train them up. You know, the way we used to do it before we started importing slave labor from the third world en masse to drive up the cost of housing and drive down the wages.
I think that is short-sighted. Would you prefer less educated, less skilled American DEI hires to take open positions in brain surgery, for example? Imagine being an unfortunate patient in need of an operation that only one in the world could perform and he was denied immigration to the U.S. because of your NO EXCEPTIONS policy. While I totally agree that the current system had been abused and in need of change and better oversight, I can envision situations where highly skilled, highly talented people are needed and not enough Americans that fit that description are available. We should not cut off our nose to spite our face.
Sounds like an education and training problem. Plenty of Americans can undergo the same training that Indian doctors take.
Consider a couple of things. First, much of America's education system is outputting students far behind other countries. According to World Population Review, U.S. ranks 18th when it comes to math/science test scores for high school graduates. So, top performing students from the 17 higher scoring countries are competing for spots at top colleges worldwide. Many of those institutions aren't as concerned with DEI among their student body so that makes for more intense competition. Ultimately, the smartest students will find their way to the most demanding jobs in medicine, technology, engineering, physics, etc. It is those people who are well trained, well educated that I'm talking about. These people should be able to come to the U.S. if they are equal or better than our best and brightest to fill these demanding jobs.
Secondly, with advances in science, engineering, etc occurring faster and faster, there is a deficit of well prepared, domestically educated people to fill these positions. I would argue much of that is because our educational systems in this country have been focused on liberal ideas that the rest of the world cares little about. Harvard is no longer the caliber it once was. This is true of most if not all the Ivy League schools. It would take at least one or possibly two generations to get our education systems back on track. Meanwhile, who will fill the most demanding positions?
Also consider this. Have you ever been to a doctors office and saw their diploma on the wall? Where on that diploma is their class rank? Obviously, it's not there. It used to be if you graduated from a name college, you have prestige of it's name that carries you forward. Not anymore. The liberal Marxist ideologies espoused at these famous U.S. colleges have degraded the quality of output among the graduates. Those students might be "smart" but at what?
So yes, the problem is education first and then training later. I've made this comparison before. Imagine you photocopy a document on a poorly maintained, second rate copier. That's the second generation. Then copy that second generation on the same machine again. Imagine the problem when applied to training at a post graduate level. That's why American education has been in decline for generations. The A students went to professional schools. The B students to managerial schools. The C students went to teaching schools. Those C students are the average HS teachers today. Tomorrow it will be the D students teaching in public schools. How well prepared will the average HS student be for the rigors of high end training if it can even be found in the U.S.?
This is why it's vital for America to bring in talent if they can't find enough of it here. That is, of course, if they want to stay in the lead in science and technology. Go to any major science and technology university in the U.S. Watch the student body as it moves about. You will be surprised at the numbers of Asians and Indians you see. In many cases they outnumber Americans. That's for the reasons above. I wish that were not the case but it's true. Unless we get our educational priorities straight with what they're teaching, we're destined to fail. It's not a money problem because US high school teachers are among the highest paid in the world. It's the leftist culture pushing wokeness instead of math and science that's the problem. It's more interest in Gender Studies than interest in physics.
One final point. I foresee a time where companies like Tesla will form their own schools to teach students what they need to know to work there because they can't rely on the outside schools anymore. Is it any wonder that Tesla is working to produce highly intelligent robots that can to taught to do necessary things today?
