So much for the first lady’s parents...
I have no idea if Viktor or Amalija are "people we need to further our principles and ideals" (or whatever you want to pull out of REDSTATEWARD's word salad) but I do know that I can not think of a single problem the US faces that will be solved by ending chain migration.
And if REDSTATEWARD can, he won't say it.
Already did.
But to spell it out for you.
Chain migration means the immigrants decide who comes next. The multiplier is about 4-1 and the four are not selected on the basis of their skills or potential to contribute to the well-being of the American people. They come simply because they are related.
No, you still haven't' said it. A big scary multiplier is not a problem, even if its true (and its not, the author of the study people use to cite that number says its more like 2.1) Why does that matter? They "are not selected on the basis of their potential to contribute to the well-being of the American people?" How do you propose doing that? You have no idea who has or does not have the potential to contribute in this way.
Immigrants (including those that come in without your "vetting" via chain migration) are more likely to have a college degree, more likely to be working, more likely to own/start a business, less likely to commit crimes, and far less likely to be on social welfare programs. Immigration adds to GDP while providing the economy a valuable source of
both skilled and unskilled labor.
Again...what problem are you solving in this country by proposing we have fewer of them?
