Its the responsibility of a nations gov ie their policies to look out for our own best interests. We really need to raise our min standards.

That is our process for weeding out the bad apples BEFORE they enter.
Very well stated.

The illegals need to go home and do it the right way.

I liked the analogy about waiting in the restaurant. I hate when people break rules, and laws.

I guess that's what many of us agree on. I don't like Trespassing Criminal Illegal Aliens. That is 4 things I don't like in one person.

But do YOU care? I mean, does it matter to you, morally, if someone in another country gets a job instead of an American?

If they are more qualified? Are they allowed to immigrate here and flood a certain market? Its not a yes no question. If they are more qualified and the demand for the skill is there and they immigrated legally? No I am not bothered by it.

I wouldnt know and nor do you. Some individuals might. I think most accept that those born here are born citizens and its a non-issue.
By legalizing illegals without making them follow the exact same steps legals had to follow is rewarding them for cheating. For breaking our laws. The legals I know feel strongly opposed to any short cuts or free passes for illegals. The legals paid good money and waited in some cases for years to get their VISA. its understandable that they would feel at best cheated at worst downright PO ed.
And it wouldnt be the same process not by a lot. That is unless you made them return to nation of origin and floow the exact same steps.

If the demand isn't there, then there is no competition anyway. That's why all these concerns about the entirety of the third world coming here are ridiculous. Laborers are coming here because there is unfulfilled demand. As demand sinks, so will the supply, regardless of the laws in place.

No you claim this is a valid chart used by those who decide who enters and who doesn't. Please show me where on the uscis web sight where I can find your chart.
USCIS Home Page
I cant find it.
Nor have you explained why we would owe anyone a VISA regardless of financial status.
I have explained how unlimited immigration is not to our benefit. If for no other reason our resourses are finite.
So please feel free to explain how allowing any and all except criminals to enter would benefit us and the gains out weigh the losses. I grant you that you are not in favor of allowing known criminals to enter.
