"How do you distinguish between huddled masses and immigrants? " Actually they do to some extent. Getting an H1-B visa requires education, a skill useful in this country and a sponsor willing to hire the aspirant immigrant. Now if they just stuck with that it would be fine. Look at some other countries. Some won't let you in unless you have X amount of money. Others won't let you take all your money if you emmigrate. For some reason immigration laws are being laxed in many parts of the world, there must be some influence which is beyond the scope of this text. But years ago, some of the most desirable countries were the hardest to get into. To get here you just get on a bus in Mexico. But really, while I can't really say close the borders permanently, they should be closed now at least temporarily to all but the most useful. The reason ? I think 300,000,000 people is enough especially when we don't pull in enough money to feed ourselves. And don't even try to dispute that becasue that'll buy you a link to the national debt and the occasions on which they raise the debt cieling. There is no question at all that we cannot afford the people we have now. Period. T^T
