My grandparents were immigrants with few skills.   The extended familial group helped them to develop skills, language proficiency and financial stability.   I have yet to hear a compelling case against chain migration.  Congratulations to your wife, WP,  on her RN and bringing a great work ethic.   

It is simply not possible to predict the life trajectories of individuals.

Well. Apparently not to you.

I have no preordained vetting philosophy over possible immigrants, only a broad perspective of what they have to offer or could offer. There is very little along those lines that can be predictive based solely on chain migration. I would also favor abolishing the practice of automatically accepting a person as a citizen if the only criterion is they were born here.

You think the criterion of having a parent be a citizen is enough? Both parents?

One is fine

Both parents be working, upstanding citizens who are not living on welfare?

receiving welfare does not negate citizenship

Neither homosexual?

Either or both. (As in any sexual preference that is legal )

Working, upstanding citizens who are not of the wrong color and not on welfare?

I might have a problem with Chartreuse.
Welfare, as I said, I don’t.

White Christians! I've got it.
 

Thankfully your bigotry is not contagious.

I know you have this whole "I know you are, but what am I" kneejerk reflex down, Red, but I do hope you make it out of elementary school eventually.

And your obsession with Evvie, wherever she may be, is very quaint.

I’m pretty sure if I do you will still be there.

Sorry, but I have people who do that stuff for me... or I did until my kid bought a house.

To your point however, your statement on citizenship is not only arrogant and stupid, it is unAmerican.

I don’t have to. I know xenophobic BULLSHIT and prejudice when I smell it and that odor emanates from everything you post.

[facilitatorn]

It’s clear on its face Red. You’re about the least American poster here. Larry and some others have you pegged. Bon voyage!

I expect I will be, too.

I teach.

But given your "clever" comebacks and your inability to reason your way out of a wet paper bag, it seems unlikely that it will happen soon.
