What Should Our Immigration Policy Be?

What should our immigration policy be?

I’ve expressed my opinion about this many times. I think that we should greatly increase the number of work visas available to Mexicans, impose workplace-based enforcement of immigration law with serious penalties for failure to enforce, abandon family reunification and diversity as criteria for granting visas, enforce educational and tourist visas, tighten up greatly on the L-1 visa, and return the H1-B program to what it was supposed to be—a way of admitting more people who had skills unavailable in the domestic market. Over the years it has transmogrified into a way of bringing in relatively low level clerical and technical workers. Basically, it’s a fraud.

With respect to the beneficiaries of DACA, the Congress should establish some set of criteria and those criteria should be enforced rigorously. The parents of the “DREAMers” should not be included.

What do you think our policy should be?

    I pretty much agree with you, though see little need for special allowance for Mexicans. If agriculture or disaster visas need to be expanded or created for temporary work, then the same strictures should apply to those as other visas. I’d open them to anyone, realizing that neighboring countries are likely to be most suited.

  • The rationale behind addressing Mexican work visas distinctly is that Mexico’s proximity and the powerful pull factors involved make Mexico a distinct case. Canada is just as close but the pull factors are nothing like as strong. Special treatment would be superfluous.

    I can live with those, except allow for reunification with spouses. I would generally allow more work visas and since Mexico is closer I think they would use more anyway w/o having to make special allowances. You mention it, but there should be alto more emphasis on tracking people with visas since, recently, more people are here illegally from over staying visas than crossing illegally.

    Multi-cultural, multi-ethnic empires like ours are held together by brute force, viz. Hussein’s Iraq, Tsarist Russia, et al. If we want a stable democratic Republic rather than the coming dictatorship, then we need to rebuild the historical White majority back to something like 80% or more. There should be a total ban on non-White immigration, expulsion of non-White illegal immigrants, and we should establish rescue missions for White populations at risk of genocide like those in Africa.

    IMO parents of dreamers would be in the same boat as all the other illegal immigrants – their ability for residence or citizenship would be circumstantial.

    Another thing worth mentioning – we shouldn’t assume that all the immigrants here want to become citizens. Our future policy needs to take that into account as well.

    After the amnesty of the 80s only a minority of eligible immigrants became citizens.
