It's funny how the thing least likely to be done by idiot politicians is actually the best thing that can be done. If we were to do this today, we'd be beloved by tomorrow. I absolutely guarantee it.

Sure, but the US would go into a depression the likes have no been seen since the beginning of the century. Almost all food would have to be imported from outside of the US, and prices would skyrocket.

If you don’t like it there, change it yourself and don’t hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don’t need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.
5) No foreign “students” over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don’t attend classes, they get a “D” and it’s back home baby.

Ignorance. Aid is a lot cheaper than war, and it can help to forge strong friendships. It's a win win.

How about everyone just be a responsible adult and eat healthy and stop acting like a child?
In Europe most people are bi, tri or more lingual. What does that do? It helps communication. They don't take the "you're either with us, or you're with the foreigners" stance.

This clearly isn't Robin Williams because even his humor is way above this. He doesn't pander (except when he does his urban youth impression).
How about this: "Can someone hold this torch for a second? My arm is getting tired."
