Agree:
1. The proposal in this thread is far too complicated.
2. End the current immigration process
3. Replace it with a merit based immigration policy
We need skilled workers with qualifications already or the ability to meet qualifications. We have a demographic cliff that is essentially here right now. What I would not give to be a millennial. There are more jobs and opportunities for them than there are numbers of them.
If I could hire good workers, train them and retain them in certain trades and wanted to work hard enough to manage them I’d make a fortune.
What we don’t need are a bunch is leeches that can’t leave the old country behind.
We also have a boat load of able-bodied Welfare recipients that could pick beans and tomatoes.
“If I could hire good workers, train them and retain them in certain trades and wanted to work hard enough to manage them I’d make a fortune.”
The fundamental problem is paying for the training.
The USA has the best supply of good, smart workers in the world.
“merit based immigration policy”
I’ll look into the legislative language of that when I have time.
