For at least 20 years, every poll of public opinion demonstrated that Americans want less immigration. Americans are the most welcoming and kind people towards immigrants but at this point they overwhelmingly agree that there’s been too much immigration. Large majorities of people of all political persuasions agree. And yet this very strong wish of the electorate has been completely disregarded by politicians of every single administration.
What kind of democracy is it where people get the exact opposite of what they want, again and again and again?
I think that the wishes of the American people should finally be respected. I believe there should be a pause on immigration of all kinds. There needs to be a period of time, say, a couple of decades, where the existing new citizens get absorbed and assimilated to the culture. Not only is this reasonable, it is, I repeat, what the overwhelming majority wants. Which means that is what should happen.

Agreed. Europe and Canada are showing us the problems, it’s beyond obvious.
I have very low hopes for Trump, but his stance on immigration was one of those things I actually agreed with him. Seeing him do a 180 on H-1B visas and embracing globalism was like an additional shit nugget on a shit sandwich. I guess we’ll see what actually happens.
