Diseased? Who are you talking about? Sure seems like a bad attitude to

Have you looked at the statistics for Haiti, Jon? They are diseased...and
yes, we can write off whole peoples...we are not the saviors of the
world...every time we try to be we end up at the low end of the
stick...yes, I do believe we should set specific limits as to who cand
come to this country..aand there should be rules regarding
immigration...number 1 rule you must speak English BEFORE you come here
2you must have a valuable or needed skill or trade 3 you must show that
you can and will provide for anyone you bring in with you 4 you may not
send money back to your parent country


So, just to be sure I read this right.... you're willing to write off a
whole people, a whole country because of a preventable disease.

1) I don't believe we've ever had a law that said people had to speak the
language *before* they arrived.
2) What makes you certain that immigrants from poor countries don't have a
valuable or needed skill or trade? Who determines this?
3) I believe that we already have this critieria in effect.
4) You can't send money back? Zero? Seems pretty harsh to me.

I'm truly shocked. You seemed like a fair-minded person. Now I'm not so
sure.
