Bryan, I’m in line with your position under one condition:
- Let’s stop confusing temporary with permanent migration!
We can and should let many more people come in the US than today and take up jobs. However it should only be done…
1. For countries that cooperate in taking in deported citizens back (see: Pakistan for an example of country that actively hinders deportation efforts)
2. Not allow any form of permanent immigration or even temporary family immigration for ~90% of immigrants. You come in, you work, you make money, you go home. Your spouse and kids cannot come.
3. Temporary immigrants should be completely excluded from all welfare systems and not even participate in Social Security for example. Let their home countries figure this out, not the U.S.
Once that’s done… welcome in! You’ve talked very positively about the system in UAE: so let’s copy *all* of it, not just the “welcome people in to work* part.
