Freedom to Come and Go as You Please Today's critics of immigration want to slow the influx of foreigners or stop it completely. They worry that immigrants take jobs away from Americans, go on welfare, or dilute our culture.

Immigration policy hasn't changed noticeably in almost four decades. And whatever changes that are made don't alter the rate at which immigrants come across the borders.
