From its foundation, the United States has been a country of
immigrants. Whether fleeing persecution,
seeking opportunity, or in some cases, brought against their will, people have
come from all parts of the world to settle and build the USA. We have earned our nickname of “melting pot”
because of the broad diversity that makes up our population.
Because we originate from so many countries,
our national mindset includes ideas, beliefs, and backgrounds from nearly every major religion, philosophy, and culture. Our diversity is a blessing to the country,
and without this breadth of background, we would be less than we are
today. Many still dream of coming to
America to find a better life, and we want to welcome those that will help
continue to build our country’s greatness.
To reach our country’s full potential, and to protect the
opportunities for those that will immigrate in the future, we need to ensure
that our policies and processes support our goals. How to best support immigration is a
highly-debated topic in our country today.
Let’s cut through the rhetoric and the partisanship, and talk about the
merits of the different potential solutions.
