We allow people to immigrate because of their humanity and our humanity.  It’s not about low income or high income.  That’s dangerous, amoral thinking.[/quote]

No you don't.  You allow people to immigrate because they have sponsorable family here, because they have a sponsorable job, or because (in very few cases) because they deserve asylum.  Humanity is shared by everyone on the planet but the majority will never be allowed to immigrate. Please don't perpetuate the lies that immigration has anything to do with humanity or with whatever myth is carved into Lady Liberty.  And to the degree that people are chosen to immigrate based on certain criteria, making income one of these criteria is perfectly reasonable. [/quote]

There is def humanity in immigration.  And "Myth" carved in Statue of Liberty?

Sorry, your way of thinking is immoral not reasonable.[/quote]

What? My way of thinking mirrors what your laws say. Yes, the words carved into the Statue of Liberty are a myth.  There is currently no provision to immigrate to the U.S. just because you're poor and downtrodden. There just isn't. Sorry you don't like the truth.[/quote]
Yeah there is, it's called the Refugee Act of 1980, and we've brought in millions of refugees that way.  At least we did when humanitarian concerns were still a thing.

Refugee doesn't mean poor and downtrodden.  [/quote]
