I would really like to know.
Should we let anyone who wants to enter, do so?
I think it should be tightly controlled.
Unless you are likely able to support yourself, you don't get in.
Do you fill a need that we can't fill within? If not why should we let you in?
Have a criminal record.... you're not getting in.
Want to come in and start a business.... probably, depends on the business.
I am tired of letting refugees in. Let the UN find another place for refugees. It will give the UN something to do other than worry about my guns.
This is just a general idea of what I think we should do. There could be exceptions to the rules, but not many.

A topic left open like this will inevitably work up to moats, alligators, electric fences (lethal and non-lethal), landmines, snipers, and sharks with laser beams on their heads... |

I'm not asking for methods or devices used to achieve border control. I'm asking should it be secure and what restrictions would you place on immigration. |

So anyone that wants to live here should be allowed to do so?
Could they just come and go whenever they please? If they want to rent an apartment every four years so they can vote in presidential elections, that's ok with you? |

Bring back the 1965 immigration laws and keep them in place for at least 20 years. If that makes me a "racist"; I don't care. Sheesh!

One of the methods or devices used around here when it comes to talk of immigration control is the "Straw Man"... |

Get rid of H1-Bs and bring in a points system with a strict limit on how many visas can be handed out per year....far less than what we currently hand out.
Get rid of most family-based immigration aside from spouses and minor children of US citizens and green card holders.
Tighten the rules and lengthen the time necessary to convert any work visa into a green card.
Require proficiency in English.
Much tighter scrutiny on fiance(e) visas, these are rife with fraud...get rid of waivers while we're at it.

Only the best and the brightest should be let in and in very small numbers.
