" Swedish, Italian, Filipino, whatever.....the point is the same. Especially, in these times,..."The point is not to eliminate immigration. It is to control who comes in and how many to admit."

Right. And so it does seem a wise policy to have a temporary guest worker program in the set of visas, so that we can let workers in without necessarily letting in the whole family, the way green cards would.

Who comes in. Okay, who and how many should come in by your standards?

Just because the illegal is already here does not negate the fact that the illegal is, indeed, illegal. The illegal should go back to his/her country of origin and apply for admittance to the US. The legal and programmatic route. We are a nation of laws. The basis for civil society is adherence to laws and rules enacted for good social order. Applicants for admission should be screened for suitability. Undesirables should be denied admission. This is simple logic.
