No one wants to stop legal immigration. Well at least no one worth being taken seriously. I believe that this is not true, unless you regard your neighbours and fellow voters as unworthy of being taken seriously. It is my impression that common people are opposed to just about any immigration, but the elites are completely detached from what the people want. And since elites run the media, they set the limits of what is discussed and how.

I'm no expert on US elites, but here is an example. I follow a few blogs and sites by Ivy league economic professors and the like. I haven't observed a single one that is opposed to immigration.
