My grandmother came over when she was about 13. She had to have a sponsor. In other words, she had food, shelter and clothing available to her.

I think that's how immigration is supposed to work...you are sponsored or have a job.

Yep...if you cannot demonstrate you have a skill or trade; a job; a sponsor then you should not get in. It’s so common sense that you wonder how anybody can argue otherwise.

“She had to have a sponsor...”
Same here, my parents came over from Italy in the very early 1900’s. They had a sponsor and skills, they also went to work a short time later.
