A points based immigration system is a step in the right direction. It's definitely better than the system that we have now.
Along with illegal immigrants, we also should also be willing to deport and deny citizenship to current resident aliens who do not meet these new standards.
The green card lottery should only be for countries that the US doesn't have a lot of immigrants from. It should also be completely 50/50 male/female. I don't think it's like that currently.
I agree. How is it diversity to allow in far more immigrants from a certain country or ethnic group?
The point is that illegals are in our country illegally and therefore are costing us $113 billion a year and that's only the fiscal costs of them. Our truly needy citizens should be the only ones collecting welfare because at least they are Americans.
Looks like you missed the boat - we are talking legal immigrants, and not illegal immigrants.

Illegal immigration was also being discussed under this topic. As for legal immigrants, it's still not diversity if we favor a particular country or ethnic group.
IMO, even under the merit system we should make sure that we actually need these qualified immigrants rather than them coming here replacing American or competing with them for jobs. It should not only be merit but need also. Population growth should also be a consideration.
Why is it we're told all of these jobs will be automated except when we're talking about immigration, then all of a sudden there's supposedly tons and tons of low skilled jobs.
Good question!
Pro-illegal alien types and their ilk, when backed into a corner, end up talking out of both sides of their mouths. What you wrote above^^^^is a good example of that.
