o The bill increases dramatically legal immigration adding between 30 million to 57 million permanent immigrants above current levels (14 million now) over a ten year period. Most of those added will be low skilled with kinship being more important than merit.
o The bill doubles the annual flow of guest workers. During the first year, 1.6 million more temporary workers than currently allowed. Thereafter, the bill would increase temporary workers by more than 600,000 over the current levels.
o A number of new categories of temporary workers were created. One allows 5,000 visas annually to the 30 countries the US has free trade agreements with. This is in addition to the H-1B visa level, which is also being almost tripled to 170,000 a year.

There will be a huge increase in unskilled labor to “do the jobs Americans won’t do, A patent lie, but now we bringing in a large increase in skilled labor to “do jobs Americans can’t do.” Beam me up Scotty, the inmates have taken over the asylum.
I saw that: "Immigration needs to be fixed"
I yelled back at the TV; "No it doesn't, the border needs to be fixed, idiot!"
