"What really needs to be done is to change our legal immigration policies. Basically we need to go to a merit based system like Canada and Australia have vice the kinship system we have now and we need to reduce significantly the number of legal immigrants from 1. 2 million a year to around 300,000."

BTTT!

There's no way any society can sustain that kind of influx of foreigners. We have a huge glut of unskilled labor in this country. Mass immigration is so 1850.

For the decade ending in 2010, we had the largest number of legal immigrants enter our country in history--13.9 million. At the same time, we had a net loss of 400,000 jobs. There is no correlation between immigration numbers and job needs.
