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]

First, you don't HAVE to make it possible for everyone to come legally.  Immigration is not an entitlement.  A country is entitled to lay out its own expectations as to who it does and does not want in.

Second, please stop perpetuating lies. We do NOT have a merit-based immigration system that's not dependent on the whim of the employer. Currently the only merit-based immigration category is reserved for individuals of "outstanding accomplishment", and the bar is set impossibly high. If you are an Olympic champion or bestselling author, you will clear it. If not, not. [/quote]
