so for how many millennia do we need to accept every single person because we turned them way? btw, weren't they highly educated or something? or are we supposed to give preference to those who have uncle's uncle in the US, the way we do now?[/quote]

Do not talk what you have no clue about. That tells badly about your intelligence and maybe you deserve to be deported replaced by some smart immigrant.

The immigration policy provides options for parents and siblings of US permanent residents or citizens to immigrate not uncle or uncle's uncle. You need to be permanent resident or citizen to even apply for them NOT just a mere visa holder. [/quote]

Riiight. Except that a person brings a sibling who brings a spouse who brings a sibling so pretty quickly we have uncles uncle.[/quote]

Except the waiting period even to get a sibling runs into decades. So your theory of chain migration letting people into this country to the tune of millions is possible if humans live for 200 years. [/quote]

that is not true. it says in the documents/website it will take 20 years to bring ina sibling on reality it moves faster. not sure why, or maybe those people bring sibling illegally and merely start the paperwork.[/quote]

You need to be a US citizen to apply for your siblings. You also need to wait 5 years to get citizenship after green card. Uncle's uncle is not coming in 50 years.[/quote]

uncle's uncle will be here immediately and file his paperwork. my nanny brought half of her village to DC.[/quote]

You can't file paperwork immediately as a green card holder other than your spouse or minor children. And the wait time is long.[/quote]

right. but they can come here illegally and then become legal over time.[/quote]

That's a totally different issue.

I have no idea why Steve Bannon/Miller picked LEGAL immigration issue as the first immigration bill to bring up.[/quote]

because it's important and most people support merit system.[/quote]

We already have merit system for people don't have family connections here. I thought ILLEGAL immigration was the most pressing problem. I guess not.

So cut the quota in half is going to magically attract the best and brightest to this country?[/quote]

illegal immigration is a separate problem. you can walk and chew gum at the same time, you know.

foreigners and even americans have no clue what current immigration levels are. 500k or a million means nothing to them.

having a point system will attract some number of best and brightest to this country. but it is true, best and brightest as not gonna be coming to the US in great numbers. that has nothing to do with immigration law but with globalization. life at other places with good human capital is not bad anymore, in fact sometimes it's better than in the US with its insane real estate and childcare prices. that's all the more reason to strongly prioritize talented and educated. otherwise  only people from the worlds' worst places will be coming.[/quote]

Illegal immigration is part of the same problem!  If you make it impossible for people to come legally, guess what, they have nothing to lose and come illegally.

We have a merit based system that already exists and works in parallel with the family-based system.  And guess what?  The employment based system is far less subscribed than the family-based system.  The visa waiting time for skilled and professional workers is non-existent or far less than the family wait times, depending on category.

We have more Spanish speakers in the US than they have in Spain, so Spanish should get points too, just like French does in Canada.

This announcement was just a political stunt to distract by the White House.  This bill has been getting zero traction in the Senate.[/quote]

1) employer based system is not a merit based system

2) that we have so many spanish speakers is a problem, not a virtue. [b]people who speak spanish only should be getting negate points[/b]

3) the bill is not making it impossible to come to the country legally. even even if it did, illegal immigration should be zero. that's a matter of enforcement, not laws.[/quote]
I was in a small store this weekend, and a woman there spoke only Spanish and was livid that the shop had no Spanish-speaking staff. She stormed out in a huff. I've never gone to a foreign country and insisted that the staff know English! [/quote]

Your Spanish must be pretty good if you understood all that.[/quote]
