“”I believe he wants to cut back by 2/3 until we get a better handle on how many are here, legal and illegal. A good case could be made. If he gets the part of the bill thru dealing with illegals and the anchor babies I will be happy.””
That would KILL us in the healthcare business. The reason we’re barely scraping by for nurses in the shortage is that we are importing from abroad. The US schools aren’t putting out enough of them.
“nurses in the shortage”
We are allowing ill educated, illiterate in two languages, people in. Remember that “chain migration” (bringing in relatives) is legal immigration. Skilled immigrants need to be given priority.
Side note: Where I work we use temporary workers thru an agency. Who do you think picks up English fastest? Guys straight off the boat from Africa or guys from south of the border (Mexican, Honduran, what ever)?
