These are the people we WANT in the US. We want immigrants of the RIGHT sort. Successful Asians aren’t a drain on the resources of the country. They are a net plus to national income. The problem with immigration policy is not just that too many of the wrong sort are coming in but that its become quite difficult to get the right sort in. The more elaborate workarounds, loopholes like this open the right doors, not the wrong ones. If the legal immigration process was structured correctly there would be an effective filter to select for quality.

Whether we want them or not is irrelevant to the point. We have laws that enumerate the proper procedure for becoming an American Citizen, and this tactic is an end-run around those laws. I wanted Bernard Goetz to get away with shooting those guys on the subway, but we have laws against shooting people, so Bernard Goetz had to be dealt with in accordance with our laws.

We are a nation of laws, not preferences.

When the law is a failed law, it is irrelevant.
