We need many more immigrants, because our birth rates are dismal. But we need merit based or wealth based immigrants. That is what NZ & Australia are doing and they have 1/1000th problems from immigrants than we have here. The economy needs highly skilled people to grow.
Can you believe women now outnumber men in college graduations? What is wrong with men to not take advantage of the great STEM education available in universities? More than half of PhD’s in STEM are foreign students! We need to encourage those students to stay and discourage chain migration immigrants.
Can you believe we import immigrants based on a lottery system from every 3rd world country? In other words there is zero test for qualifications or merit or wealth.
Can you believe to qualify for a LEGAL immigrant visa all one needs is a relative who is just a permanent resident of United States? They do not even need a citizen sponsor. There is again zero testing for merit or wealth. Almost no worthwhile country on earth does that.
What the heck were republicans like Bush-43 & 41, Reagan, etc were thinking when they had the power? Trump is the first president trying to do somehthing.
Merit & wealth based immigrants are much more likely to prosper and become conservative republicans than immigrants sponsored by relatives who love the free handouts and welfare which exists here.
You are dead wrong. We need negative immigration - automation is going to put millions of low skilled workers out of a job and on the dole. Sending 20 million illegal aliens (mostly back to Mexico) away is a great start.
