Legal Immigration to the US: Is it fine the way it is or Enough Already?
I read recently that the US allowed the legal immigration of 1.1 Million people in the recently concluded Fiscal Year. These are LEGAL immigrants not undocumented migrants. Several questions are raised by this figure: can the US sustain this level of migration? what are the costs and benefits of this level of migration? what are the social, cultural, and psychological impact of this migration to the US? Do immigrants really take away American jobs or do they only take lower paid/lower status jobs that Americans would not want any way?
Since 1965, US Immigration policy is based on two core principles: family unification regardless of skill level of the relative being reunited with family already in the US and professional/skilled labor immigration.
