Then invite well educated, highly skilled, high income potential people from Europe or other areas. Why import more lower social class, with no education, no skills, with little earning potential who will likely end up on assistance?
That's exactly what many people said about the Irish, the Italians, the Jews, and just about every group that came to this country in the 19th and early 20th century. In fact, one of the foundations of Planned Parenthood was Margaret Sanger's desire to halt these undesireables from reproducing (you can read it her works - she wasn't bashful about saying it!). Yet I think the Irish, et al., have turned out to be pretty good citizens, don't you?
One thing I do think we should do is bring back meaningful citizenship or Americanization classes. In the 19th and 20th centuries, children in public schools were taught in English, regardless of their parents' native language, and were taught about the history of this country, its political foundations and ideals, etc.
I think many immigrants, judging from my contact with Latin American immigrants in NYC, where they were suing to get their kids OUT of bilingual education, would be very happy to learn English and adopt American values. But with our crummy, left-wing, Dem-dominated educational system, their chances are not as good as they were in the 19th century, alas.
It looks like that is exactly what this proposal is also going to do. It sounds like we could have guest workers from any country going after anykind of job. I dont think there's going to be alot in the "high income" potential though as they will lower the wages for a much larger variety of citizens than now.
