Merit-based immigration, that most countries on Earth use, and which the USA used prior to 1965, prioritizes those who can contribute the most to this country. Family visas are limited to spouse and children.

Sen Ted Kennedy was instrumental in getting that law changed in 1965 and opened the floodgates for illegals to come here.-Tom
