Instead of relying on incoming immigrants, why can't the US rely on its own internal minorities for labor and invest in their job skills? Maybe you'd get less cries of racism if American immigration was shut off for, say, 50 years?

Also, the immigrants coming in aren't even filtered for professional credentials--for every one skilled H1 petition (which I support) you get tons of unskilled immigrants petitioned in due to the 'family reunification' portion of the immigration code. It's a joke. I can understand a kick ass designer or engineer coming to the US--they can readily contribute skill sets or creativity we may not have (depending on the situation/skill set--designers, take a deep breath) but I don't understand a mom petitioning an adult child and only have that 'child' work as a dish washer when they get here. I'd say let em stay in the home country and come back once they get fully educated and skilled.

What are your thoughts?
