How about a return to a sane, pre-1965 immigration policy wherein we allow entry only to those we NEED in this country? By definition, that would limit immigration to highly educated, highly skilled persons (not millions of tomato pickers) who will not likely be on welfare if seasonal work runs out.

The immigrants we NEED in this country NOW are the ones that cut your grass, pick your fruit, and paint your house.

"The immigrants we NEED in this country NOW are the ones that cut your grass, pick your fruit, and paint your house."

No, we do not NEED to import grass cutters, fruit pickers, or painters, just so we can get that sort of menial labor done more cheaply. We're now paying for schooling, emergency room visits, and jail boarding for too many immigrant grass cutters, fruit pickers, and painters. Scientists we may need. More lawnmowers we do NOT need to import.
