For Reference:

Light blue countries have restrictions (such as permanent residency) so I wanna hear your opinions as well.

    Seeking a better life for one’s children tends to be a powerful motivator for people. The promise of a better life has driven a lot of people to get on a boat and sail to the United States over the last few hundred years. As a natural born citizen, I benefit from them all, from the cleverest inventor to the humblest fruit picker. We got folks in power right now trying to abolish it, and look how it’s going for us.

    You sound, to me, like a Republican.

      I don’t live in the US, I only care for your foregin policy. I’m all for immigration for anyone who can be bothered to work and pay taxes with the rest of us. In fact if you manage so sneak into the country and pay tax you should be given a temporary residence permit just for the trouble.

      If you have been a permanent resident for a long time you should be allowed to become a citizen. If your parents were here for a few years when you were born I’m not convinced it’s a good idea.
