Only if we don't control our borders and base immigration based on ask not what America can do for you, but what you can do for America. Personally, I don't care whether you are from Nigeria or Norway. The criteria should be do you have a trade or a skill? What can you contribute? The exception to this is, and I hate this term as it sounds racist, but I don't mean it to be as I'm refering to culture rather than skin tone, is the "white commonwealth". By this I mean the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia and NZ. Again, I dont care if you're Asian or African or Latino in ancestory, its all good. The point is that if you were to drop an Irishman or an Aussie here, they wouldn't need much more assimilation than someone who moved from Boston to Bilioxi. Why should we NOT prefer them over someone from a totaly different language and culture? I believe that we all should be treated equally once we are here. However, who GETS to come here isn't a right, it's a privilege. This isn't about race, its about the ability to assimilate. As Lincoln said, "We are a notational republic". This means we aren't tied toghther by blood, but by common ideals. Truer words were never spoken. Shouldn't we therefore put our thumb on the scales for those who speak the language and have a similar culture? Screw skin tone, its about how you were brought up and the basic values you have. FQ13 who has gotten too damn old to worry about being PC and would really prefer not to have to speak a different language in his own country PS the filmn is agitprop, but as over the top as it is, it does make a point
