Rand Paul is right: We should quadruple employment-based legal immigration

[basquebromance]

i'm on board!

Even though immigration opponents like Tucker Carlson might clutch their pearls, this increase in high-skill immigration would almost certainly be a net positive for our country.

via Wa Examiner:

"Rand Paul just introduced a bill that would substantially increase high-skill immigration and boost legal immigration rates overall. His plan is compelling, and all conservatives should get on board.

Paul’s proposal increases the total number of employment-based visas allotted to 270,000 from 140,000, and extends this authorization to the spouses and teenage children of immigrants as well. Because of the inclusion of family members, the net impact of this proposal would be to nearly quadruple the total number of labor-based immigrants admitted under our immigration laws.

Additionally, Cato’s David Bier says Paul’s proposal “would make the United States far more competitive for foreign talent than current law, prevent the removal of hundreds of thousands of skilled workers” and “benefit the U.S. economy enormously.” Rand Paul is right: We should quadruple employment-based legal immigration

I have no problem with a legal "brain-drain" in our direction, but only after the current invasion is repelled and the invaders removed.

How about we train our own young people to become “high skill” employees rather than teaching them to become professional protesters and YouTubers that make no money. That way we don’t have to import anybody.

No.

Until we have our house in order, immigration should be set to zero.

Legal invasion or illegal invasion... still an invasion.

the New Zealand shooter also called them invaders.

No, immigration needs to be stopped until we have the exodus from the south under control.
