"Forget guest workers, if we need new americans - increase legal immigration for those who are law abiding, and want to come here."
But Mexico has already exceeded it's quota for the next couple of decades, so they get Zero new immigration visa's!
Every country that wants to send people here should have their legal immigration visa allocation reduced by 2X or 3X the number of illegals already here.
That way those who really want to get here, legally, will have a stake in reducing the number of illegals from their country.
Personally, I think we need a ten year moratorium on ALL immigration, from anywhere.
without immigration (legal), our population growth would be negative, because of abortion, as well as other social factors which result in low birth rates. Its not just in the US, its happening all across europe as well.
but I agree, we cannot have legal immigration so long as we have this massive illegal flow at the same time.
