america is a country of immigrants. why should any country have the right to ban people from coming into it. I understand not wanting to be burdened with people who are ill equipped to be self supporting but, if an immigrant is able to prove that he/she can be self supporting there should be no barrier to them coming here

They shouldn't.This country is not overcrowded.Even if the whole country of Mexico came over they would still be a minority.This country needs them.Ppl are scared because this country and countries all over the world are changing.There is nothing anyone can do about it.Sorry guys.

The simple truth is America has laws for immigration as every other country does. We should have the right to refuse to let criminals or anyone else into the country. How are we to know a person's background? There are many self supporting people waiting in line to come into America.
Are you worried about them being forgotten or put at the back of the line at Immigration due to so many people entering without waiting? Or don't the people following the rules count?
Follow the laws and rules of immigration. Go through the process like every legal immigrant as done.
My forefathers came to this country legally and were proud to earn citizenship.

The word is Illegal, most of America is made up of immigrants, they have waited in line and came here legally and have contributed greatly to the country, however ILLEGAL immigrants circumvent the law and just come here. There is a reason for quotas and that it to make sure that everyone fits and does become productive. There are to many now that are undocumented and really these people are being exploited by employers as the Americans who they take their jobs. I think the way to approach the problem is to arrest the people that employ them and put them in jail and make them pay a huge fine so that it is not worth it to hire them. NO JOBS = NO WORK = NO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

NOBODY should be banned from coming here. However, if you want to live and work in this country, you need to do it legally. Coming here illegally means no taxes, so you're not actually contributing to the country. Also, if people came here legally they would be able to get higher-paying jobs, and would do what they came here to do (live a better life, I'd assume) even more easily.
Illegal immigrants are lawbreakers, and should be treated as such. Legal immigrants are awesome.

When the country was young it needed the labor force to run the great economy, now that we have grown into a powerful and grate nation, there is no great need to let the flood of immigrants into the country, we have the labor force with our citizens, the biggest problem in business's want cheep labor, slave wages, our people don't like working for minimum wage because its not sufficient to pay bills, we need to help our country men, don't be fooled the only people to truly benefit is the businessman
