Those few politicians who believe in securing the border, will call for increased immigration as a way of softening or sweetening what they think is a hard-to-sell immigration policy.
But, no. With record high numbers of Americans out of work, they should be reducing the numbers of immigrants, especially including H1B.
Give the immigrants already here time to assimilate, and wait until we have an honest unemployment rate well below 5%. Aside from a few special cases, only in a full employment economy should we allow anyone to immigrate.

If companies want to import labor, let them pay for ALL of it. Medical, housing, the works instead of dumping those costs on the taxpayer through the safety net.
What’s that? It’s not so attractive anymore?
