[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would agree if the US had an immigration policy that emphasized bringing in the best and the brightest; we don't.  I think it's easy to assume that all immigrants are the same as the ones you (and I) work with in the tech world; they're not.  I'm all for immigration of smart people who become productive law abiding members of American society, but our immigration system simply isn't setup for that.[/quote]

The topic is not about immigration per se but on diversity and multi-culturalism. Even if immigration is halted, as some bigots wish to protect their imaginary purity, the country will remain diverse and multi-cultural.

But I understand immigration is somewhat related to diversity, so I will try to address that. No immigration system is perfect, since nobody can ascertain who is(much less who will be) productive and who is not. We cant even say education is a criteria for productivity, if that be the case then many immigrants(Irish,Italian,Polish, Vietnamese, etc) shouldn't have been allowed. But they and certainly their children did well later on. Having said that, obviously undesirable elements like murderers and thieves should not be allowed, but this country should not be shut down to refugees just because they do not know English or they are uneducated.
