I don’t know why this concept is so hard to grasp.
Immigration law should serve the interests of citizens. First, foremost, always. Only.
People in charge of administering it should be able to articulate the basis upon which people are admitted to the US, in terms of how it benefits citizens. How many are we admitting, and how did we arrive at that number. What countries are they coming from and why are we allowing immigration from that country.
Good luck getting honest numbers or honest answers about any of that.
The only people who should be admitted should be people who have something to offer the country, who are likely to assimilate, who essentially love us and want to be us. And only in numbers that can be easily integrated. People should not be admitted in numbers that will change demographics, or control wages, or change voting patterns.
If you are administering immigration policy, that’s not your job or your call. Again, immigration policy should serve the interests of citizens.
And in a shrinking job market, the numbers admitted should be very nearly zero.

therein lies the problem in America. The administrators have abdicated by ignoring the law.
New administrators are required ASAP and the current crop must be exiled, cast out.
“Immigration law should serve the interests of citizens. First, foremost, always. Only.”
Its not about countries anymore, its about corporate interests and the bottom line and building a constituency for it.
The citizens are on to the game so they must be diluted and replaced.
And I’d bet money that one of Obozo’s last acts to shaft America before he finally leaves office will be some kind of yet another lawless “executive order” which will bring in an unprecedented wave of unvetted rapefugees, one which will dwarf every such previous act. It will be his last big “FU” to America.
In a nation that now relies so heavily on consumer spending to support its standard of living, every business and government institution has a vested interest in importing new customers -- regardless of where they come from and what their political/cultural defects might be.
Keep in mind that a 25 year-old who crosses our southern border illegally without a penny to his name is actually a better "prospect" for this country than his American counterpart who has unrealistic expectations in life and (often) a negative net worth due to excessive college debt.
