#4 ...And while we're at it, let's pass a law stopping the cutesy acronyms for laws.

'RAISE'...Good grief.

#5 Ditto Mike.

I've got nothing against immigration that is legal and works to skim the cream from the world. BUT, let's not bring in millions who need to be trained up to become decent Americans when we have a large pool of people that are already Americans that need that help.

#6 H1-B visas are a problem
EB visas are a problem
low skill emigration a problem

big problem not mentioned is the overstaying of Visas i.e., people who come legally and then become illegal when visa expires. This is exacerbated by the sanctuary cities.

The VERIFY program, if it fixed a few glitches and then was applied more broadly than now could help with this. Also, beginning to name and shame sanctuary cities then start cutting off fed funding to them would help.

#7 EB visas are a problem

So true. Working a visa fraud case on this. Rife w/fraud and essentially a license to print money. ChiComms are all over this. I guess they are just doing the work Americans won't do.

#10 US historically picks who is favored to immigrate and who is not and changes the formula every once in awhile.

They should just return to historical immigration numbers and start to favor immigrants from India for awhile.

#11 I guess they have to make room for the law-breaking illegal aliens....

PLEASE! No more Indians! And I say that as someone that is married to an Indian. I want a moratorium on all immigration for 20 years. Or, only whites for the next 20 years.
