The question is what kinds of workers will our ecomomy need? Do we have to accept the self-selected poor and uneducated from Latin America? If we don't secure our borders, we will have more legal immigrants plus the same flow of illegals who couldn't qualify for immigrant status if they applied legally. The elites of this country are living in a different world than the rest of us.
Gee, it sure would help if you would actually READ Larry Kudlow's article, which I excerpted and linked in my post.
Larry's point is exactly that we need to allow in SKILLED, and EDUCATED workers, which the Senate bill, in their infitie wisdom, limited -- the Senate is the one, who wants to limit educated workers, and let in everyone else.
Kudlow: "Amazingly, the Senate has passed another amendment to limit temporary workers to a mere 200,000 per-year, even though numerous studies say we need at least twice that amount. The Upper Chamber is also limiting the volume of skilled H1B workers, primarily engineers and scientists. These workers are crucial to American competitiveness, "
