Where I work, there are a lot of Russian immigrants, obviously recent, don’t speak English, etc. I see lots of little old elderly Russian ladies hobbling around, in their babushkas and support stockings. Obviously they are not desirable immigrants, there is no benefit to us for them being here. They must have been brought in, legally or illegally, by family members, and no doubt we’re supporting them. It’s just insane...we can’t go on like this. We can’t take in the world.
Unfortunately, we have a kinship based immigration system not a merit based one. We also allow legal immigrants to sponsor their relatives, including aged parents, siblings, uncles, aunts, etc. to come to this country thru chain migration, i.e., family reunification. One Nigerian immigrant sponsored 83 of his relatives.
Immigration to America is not a right but a privilege. And our immigration policies should serve the best interests of this nation.
