[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well said.      The US continues to accept about 1 million legal immigrants every year, and these numbers have continued under Trump.       There is no such large scale legal immigration to Japan.

I do think we could increase legal immigration , say, to 1.5 million people a year, but no-one seems to want to discuss this.[/quote]
The problem with Trump's plan is that he only wants skilled immigrants.  That would lead to immigrants taking the higher paying jobs, leaving Americans with the low skilled jobs.

Also, in many urban areas, Americans really don't want the minimum wage jobs, even at $12 to $15/hr. And that is why many illegal immigrants go to urban areas because they know they can find low skilled jobs there.[/quote]

That's not really a problem at all. I mean, I'm an immigrant who would have certainly cleared whatever criteria merit-based immigration would have embraced.  I have a job that pays in the six figures. I live in a 1M+ house in a nice school district.  I shop and I save.  You'd be hard-pressed to make an argument that a thousand people like me are worse for the country than a thousand illiterate, low-skilled, non-English-speaking migrants. [/quote]

PRECISELY.  Thank you.[/quote]
