The expense of immigration

After the twin towers fell, Bin Laden said that his goal was to bankrupt America. I would assume that he would be proud as would his followers. Our debt that we recognize is $20 trillion and climbing because we keep making mistakes that would please his followers.

We keep foolishly allowing immigrants into our country who don’t speak English. This gives us the added expense of having 5 million school-age children who must be taught English in our classrooms. That takes valuable teacher time! We must print materials in many languages because of not having a national language.

The immigration act that was passed in 1965 was the key to opening the floodgates for the immigration tsunami. That allowed 1.2 million people to enter the U.S. annually. When our nation was being built, we needed people to help us build our infrastructure. My question is, what does immigration do for us now other than adding more expense for those who are already established here?

Millions of people would like to come to America. Who among us is wise enough to choose?
