Oh, I agree which is why I said the best and brightest who can sustain themselves. That will automatically eliminate most of those applying.
We suffer no shortage of qualified applicants. We need to reduce the overall number of legal immigrants to around 300,000 to 500,00 a year and go to a merit based system. We also need to confine legal immigration to the nuclear family and not to the extended family. One immigrant from Nigeria sponsored 83 members of his family to this country. And once they are American citizens, they can sponsor more of their relatives.
