National Immigrants Day 2026

In actuality, it is about criminal senile buffoons who would open our borders to the world and accept their criminal element just to get a vote for his brigand political party, the democrat turds. They continually attempt to hand our country over to foreigners. This is a situation which calls for something other than the "no action" it's getting.
The US hosts over 45 million immigrants about 14% of the population, making it the country with the largest immigrant population in the world.
Unfortunately, it has been a losing proposition for the Republic, particularly in light of the muslims who want us to accept and adhere to Islam and the Sharia, and the Somalis who are simply thieves and shysters out to defraud the entire country as often and as severely as humanly possible. Then there are a subset of the Mexicans who populate drug gangs and are out to rob us and watch them fly their Mexican flags from their pickup trucks and low riders.
We need to send these people to GITMO and chain them up and give them bread and water.
I am so sick of people who come here, hate the country spewing vitriol at ever turn then getting elected to congress because they live in conclaves of criminals that should have been lined up and shot.

To legally immigrate to the United States, you must qualify under a specific immigrant category, have an approved petition (such as Form I‑130 or I‑140), and complete either Adjustment of Status or Consular Processing depending on whether you are inside or outside the U.S. Overview of U.S. Legal Immigration.
U.S. immigration law (the Immigration and Nationality Act) allows several pathways for lawful permanent residence (Green Card), including family sponsorship, employment, humanitarian protection, and special categories.
The U.S. issues up to 675,000 permanent immigrant visas annually, with additional uncapped visas for immediate relatives of U.S. citizens.
