My remarks about the citizens of Syria were made in the context of the brutal war being fought in Syria at the moment.

>> So if tomorrow it was possible to become a US citizen by filling out a web form and paying $50, that'd be fine by you?

No, citizenship should never be for sale. Otherwise it's meaningless. You should be allowed to immigrate legally provided you can satisfy the requirements of our immigration program.

>> But I'm a job thief.

Please note that those are your words, not mine. I don't view people here on work visas as job thieves. My remarks are framed exclusively around what's best for Americans: it is socially unjust to make Americans compete with foreign nationals for jobs.
