You do believe we need to screen people, right ?

100%

Anyone who wants to come here should be checked out thoroughly. No violent criminals, no one definitively supporting anti-American groups, no one who maintains citizenship in their "home" country for more than six months, no one who hasn't lived here for at least three years, no one who cannot pass a basic language test (either written or oral). That's about it. 

Other than that, I don't care what country you come from, how you prefer go to the bathroom, what religion you are, what your profession was. And the reason I don't care is because I believe that people come here — instead of another country — because they want to be a part of the diverse culture. And wanting that change means the weird ass minorities every culture has will learn some things are not acceptable, like pooping in public showers*. If they really wanted to continue that culture, they could do that in a variety of countries around the world that are more accepting of it. Such as marrying your cousin. About half the states here would void the marriage. The other half of the states should. But that's a problem we need to work out in those states, irrelevant to the immigration argument.


*Although, as a guy who worked in a truck stop in high school/college, I can attest that a minority of our population (which was predominately white middle age men) hadn't learned that as of 20 years ago.
