I'd rather see discrimination on the basis of ideology - Islam, Communism, socialism - than discrimination on the basis of race or country of origin.

America should prioritize immigrants who have skills to contribute and who want to become patriotic Americans.

Excellent points. I don't disagree. And though my post mentioned third world immigration (because that is by far what we seem to be getting), I don't think my posts indicated any racial factor in immigration screening. I would like to limit immigration to highly intelligent, educated, and skilled persons, of whatever race. I think that reliable studies will show that crime and government dependence is lowest among that group. But I do think the numbers allowed in should be very low.
