Back at the start of this country there was virtually unregulated immigration, and I don't see any moral justification for more regulation or barriers to immigration.
There was also a population shortage.
There should be one single basic requirement: that you want to become a US citizen (and anyone not wanting to become a citizen would need a work visa or student visa to stay longer than a typical vacation).
That's it? If you want to be a U.S. citizen to make it easier to fly planes into buildings then that should be just fine?
Seems to me that this program could be revived with some modifications:
- You sign on for 5 years of work, employers provide lists of jobs to sign up for,
- For each dependent not capable of work (child\parent\handicapped) you need an able bodied worker to do their work,
- You learn english and american history in schools,
- At the end you pass a proficiency test in english and history
As usual, RAZD, your blanket fixes are little more than oversimplified nonsense to which no reasonable person should give second thought.
