I agree to stop all illegal importation and all these odd-ball visa mechanisms. But the US must regain it’s manufacturing might again. Not too long ago we were the best and then it disappeared, thanks to some shortsighted administrations. Those who keep the demographic data say we don’t have the employees to manufacture the critical material we need to approach the self-sufficiency many of us want. Some of the low skilled in our country now can be trained, but not near enough. I believe we need an immigration policy as we once had where we carefully screened legal immigrants who would come here without needing any upkeep by the government. There was also an established quota whereby each continent would supply a certain number. I believe a Congressional committee would look at the needs of the nation and establish the overall number, and then determine the continental quotas.

Yes because congressional committees know everything! The government will fix it for us!

Oh wise congressional committee please give us quotas!

(Am I being sarcastic enough? Or do I need the /s tag?)

Those are lies. We have a labor force participation rat below 60%. You supposition is such utter BS.
