Americans remain divided on whether to increase immigration levels, according to a Gallup poll released Friday.
Thirty-three percent of respondents said that immigration levels should be increased, while 31 percent said immigration should be decreased. Another 35 percent said immigration should be kept at its present levels.
Take the Jews during WWII. They were escaping persecution and imprisonment, and tried to come here to safety and security. However, the US turned away a significant proportion of them for this reason or that. Whether or not some of those reasons had some merit to them, turning them away without any guidance or support simply was not acceptable. We need to be better than that, because if we can’t take care of our current migrant residence, how can we pass judgement on whether or not we should accept new ones?
