I'm not sidestepping anything here - I'm giving you my opinion on what should be done. Why is it unacceptable for you for legal immigrants to work here?

Your proposed immigration policy vests complete power in corporate interests, which is contrary to the American tradition of having the American people (through their elected representatives) determine who can come to these shores.

If anyone with a job was allowed to come here, corporations would use immigrants to replace higher-paid American workers. They already are doing this, but your proposal would make this problem far worse. Of course, the corporations who were given carte blance over our immigration policy would also have no reason to look at broader societal costs of mass immigration or its long-term implications. Why not just abolish Congress and replace it with the Business Roundtable?
