Do I have this right? If so, why do you feel as you do?

I applauded Ronald Reagan when he gave amnesty to millions of illegals. It was the right thing to do.
After that I was turned off by the attitude of illegals who felt they have a right to kick in doors. I think they sense that their increasing numbers can intimidate politicians.
Lately I have a lot of sympathy for citizens especially seniors, who suddenly find their little corner overwhelm by illegals. They feel powerless.
I believe in legal and controlled immigration. However the H1-B visas been severely abused by unscrupulous employers to the detriment of American workers. The Indians who benefit significantly from this type of visa have organized a loud lobby.
I am alarmed at what is happening in Europe. Thousands of people from conflict zones enter, pushed down borders and
demand freeway to Germany/Sweden. Most of these enter under minimum or no vetting.
I repeat Frau Merkel is dumb.
