Can you just clarify your position a little for me?
You are o.k with immigration of high skilled persons holding advanced
degrees etc (such as your wife). I assume as they add valuable resource
and tax dollars.
You have issue with illegal immigration and the amount of 'low skill'
legal immigrants. They represent a drain on jobs and SS hand outs.
I tend to agree in principle, but it seems far more complex than you
make out. My questions are,
1. If you want high skilled people, what's your position on allowing
their families to immigrate with them? There are potentially several
direct family members per 'desired' immigrant?
2. Whets your view on the argument that immigrants end up doing the jobs
that 'Americans' don't want? Don’t you think immigrants work for
less? Making things cheaper for consumer/customer?
3. If you tighten up more on who can immigrate legally won't you in
fact run the risk of ending up with even more illegal and even less
tax dollars?
You seem to respond to questions and it’s not a total insult tirade so
look forward to your reply. I have a lot of other questions too, just
want to clarify, are you proposing a solution? Or merely pointing out a
problem. Dealing with large populations of 'immigrants' is a very
intricate problem (just look at few former leaders of nations.......),
maybe that’s why the U.S government is treading carefully?
