Kelly: "Vast majority of immigrants don't have skills and don't speak English".

So, that's why we should not allow them to escape violence in their own country???

I guess it was different back when all the immigrants who didn't have any skills and didn't speak English were from Europe.

The strongest parts of our national economy are financial, tech, education. Two of those industries DEPEND on immigration.

And moreover, America is a country of immigrants. That’s why we can get smart people to move here. Japan can set up all the visas they want to get Nobel Prize winners to immigrate there. But they won’t succeed. Because Japan doesn’t have a lot of immigrants so it’s hard for them to make immigrants feel comfortable.

So a big reason Silicon Valley and America’s world beating university system exist is because of ALL immigrants. High skilled and low skilled immigrants.


Kelly is destroying this country’s economy, and it seems like he doesn’t even know it. Foolish conservatives, duped by propaganda - never fails to apply.

you awful racist man. Do you think anyone can go work in agriculture?

Such BS. A lot of immigrants may not have a degree but they are "skilled" enough to start cleaning, landscaping, clean up, transportation, food businesses.
