Because we're full! The U.S. population is already over 300 MILLION. It's not like we have to settle the western frontier! We're already paving over most of the farmland we need to feed all the people currently living here. We're running out of food, land, water, clean air, etc., etc. If we hope to maintain our living standard, we must stop more people from coming here. There is no "right to immigrate". Our resources are finite, and unless we want to turn our country into a densly populated, barren 3rd world nation then we better wake up and stop the inflow now. There just isn't room for any more people. We need to ban ALL legal Immigration and put the Marines on our borders (north & south) with authorization to shoot anyone attempting to enter "undocumented". It wouldn't be a massacre; after the first dozen killed, the rest would understand we're serious about controlling our borders. And no, there is NO comparison to the Berlin Wall; they were trying to keep their own citizens in, where as we are keeping outsiders from violating our borders. Anyone who wants to leave (and take a few million others with them) would be more than welcome to. Yes, we are a nation of immigrants- even the natives probably came here from somewhere else. But when my family came to this country in 1682 & 1872 we were still expanding the frontier westward. They were needed to clear the forests and plow the prairie. But now we're full from sea to shining sea. At some point we have to say enough is enough. It's being anti-anybody, it's self-preservation.
They would overcrowd the US, much of them might be too poor and thus would just create more homeless people, we could be letting dangerous peopel in, the country, due to the previous reasoning, could start becoming more like a third world country, take India for example, it is completely crowded and full of people all over the streets.
And they would take advantage of the renowned medical benefits, unemployment benefits, and pensions.
I do not believe the US is opposed to accepting immigrants. It is opposed to immigrants who enter illegally.
The immigrants can not be allowed in the united states because they were born in some other country.
it shouldnt be banned because the people who migrate do all the jobs we don't want to do like work in kfc or a chicken factory.

Nativist groups such as the â??Know Nothing Partyâ?? demanded laws that would curb Immigration. In 1875, laws were passed that banned immigration of convicts and prostitutes. Next, Californians wanted the immigration of the Chinese to be banned. They were accused of lowering wages and attacked by mobs for being racially "inferior". By the 1890â??s the hostility was also against, Jews, Roman Catholics, Japanese and inevitably all immigrants.

It banned U.S. immigration to Texas and made it illegal for settlers to bring more slaves into Texas.
The Immigration Act of 1917 banned homosexuals, criminals, and polygamists from entering the United States. It also banned insane people and epileptics.
In 1830, Mexico banned Anglo American immigration. Later Santa Anna and Stephen Austin agreed to allow Anglo immigration to Mexico to continue but did not allow Texas to become an independent state.
