yea i just found that out.....but we found out the UK's are pretty retarded too........
Immigration laws have always been retarded. The most basic question that should be asked before writing law is how many immigrants should be allowed into the country each each year. Instead of Congress deciding this, immigrants decide it.
Once a foreign student completes their schooling and practical training these highly educated, highly skilled, highly motivated, tax-paying, law-abiding foreigners are expelled. Yet, unskilled labors are allowed to live and work in the US as long as they choose.
Are you serious? We should let foreigners decide how many of them can come here? We'd have two billion impoverished across the world coming here then. That would be committing national suicide. Whether or not one is skilled or unskilled allowing them to come here should be based on our ability to provide them with jobs and resources without short changing our own citizens while keeping population growth in mind.
thats not what he said......
Thanks but to clarify, Congress should should set limits on immigration. However, those limits should be somewhat flexible. the reunification of families, admitting immigrants with skills that are valuable to the U.S. economy, protecting refugees, and promoting diversity should be considered.
The heart of the illegal immigration crisis is our need for low wage unskilled and semiskilled labor. There are plenty of foreign workers who want and need those jobs but there's no practically legal channels for that labor to enter the country. A Mexican without family in the U.S. who wants to do something other than farm work has virtually no legal way to enter the country. And even a man with family here must wait from 6 to 22 years for a visa, depending on what kind of relatives he has and what their legal status is. Our choice is not whether these workers will entry the US but how they will enter. Businesses need these workers and they're going to come legally or illegally.
Having undocumented immigrants in the country is a huge problem for law enforcement., public schools, and social services. They live in the shadows, they often escape paying taxes, live in unsanitary conditions, and get much of their healthcare from emergency rooms, the most expense form of medical care. They can't be absorbed into society so they form their own communities. They don't report crimes and often become part of criminal enterprises.
