Here’s a thought. Let’s actually create a program that allows skilled immigrants from America-friendly countries to come to the US without the limits and hassles of the current program. I know a few intelligent guys from Spain who would love to be here (and work/create value here) but throw their hands up in the air at the immigration bureaucracy.
I think all immigration should be skill based. That said, there still has to be come kind of vetting process. I don’t know which limits and hassles of the current program you are talking about, but even skill-based immigration should not be made into some kind of entitlement for the entire world.
