There are two to three BILLION people on this earth who are poor, and meet your criteria

There are not two to three billion job offers on the table in the US. Hence, these people do not meet my criteria.

“There are not two to three billion job offers on the table in the US. Hence, these people do not meet my criteria. “

You’re correct on the job offer criteria, but you’re still talking nonsense. There are billions who would like to come here, and for too many years we’ve allowed business interestes to all but dictate our immigration policies.

And you’re totally wrong that denying entry to well intentioned people is “not the American way.” Immigration quotas were kept at 200,000 and below from the 1920s until 1965, and they remained below 500,000 until the GHWB administration when they were raised to around 800,000, and as business interests have gained more and more influence, the totals have exceeded one million and up to one and a-half million.

It is definitely the American to way cut back on immigration when that is deemed desirable.

The high immigration levels at present have existed for only about 20 of the past 90 years, since about 1989.

In a previous post, you stated:

However, denying anyone access to the US who has a clean record, who wants to work and who has a job offer is not the way America works.

Throw open the doors, and you'll have the Bush's and the Kennedies creating jobs for people who'll work for the scraps their dogs leave behind...your criteria can easily be satisfied as the one-worlders of both parties race to see who can bring America down the fastest.
