Who decides what’s needed, the nefarious employers that’s who. People who are worried about SS and tax revenue when they themselves have no stake in them. If your for it, your either making a lot of money off mass immigration or you have an ethnic/political angle. Not things I will ever see eye to eye with.
A few thousand “specialists” a year is all we need and that’s stretching it, in reality what is wanted is wage killing armies of worker drones so that we can “compete”. Give me a brake..
The Department of Labor, or some other designated entity, would decide.
Very little and it should start coming from different countries. Europe,Australia,South African Afrikaaners.
The US is not high on the list of priority of Australians to move to and I live in Australia and only a few Australians I have met would consider moving to the USA. Not many Europeans these days would consider moving to the USA. South African Whites are mostly too poor to move to places like the USA. A majority of the Whites in South Africa if they have the income and resources have already left South Africa.
The days of mass white immigration to the USA is long gone. Just like even Australia the days of mass white immigration are no longer around as Asians are now the largest source of immigrants here in Australia for well over 20 years.
I don't see it as a bad thing. Increased diversity has increased the amount of food choices. Plus a majority of Asian immigrants are not on welfare and are more likely to have their own business compared to native born Australians.
The Department of Labor, or some other designated entity, would decide.
The US government doesn’t work like that. Employers can and will lobby the Department of Labor as well as recruit former workers to increase their influence there. Government workers are also lazy and will ask for advice to implement policy from guess who?
A set number based on population is best imo. The way those slots are divvied out can be decided by the Labor dept. Let businesses compete for the migrants, that’s healthy capitalism, right?
It’s funny how the option that most mirrors historical immigration rates has 1 vote.
Btw, 2 million per year would require at least a million illegals per year. Add to that about a million work visa holders and that’s 4-5 million people coming in annually. Including their US born offspring, we’re talking about 60-80 million people added per decade. Liberals would have a lock on government forever and corruption would soar to third world levels.

Outsourcing is a major loss of tax revenue, no? If we’re going to do it, we should levy a payroll tax on it born by the employers, not employees.
Well, I'm not pro-tax by a big federal government, but that's besides the point. When you outsource, the entity you outsource to still has to pay taxes. Also, America was built on outsourcing... it's what allowed us to get ahead and become the super economic power we are.
The US has more fertile land than any nation on Earth and it can substain over a billion people. Yet not sure if it is possible as eventually the US population will go into decline, just as many countries in Europe and parts of Asia are experiencing. Immigration can increase the numbers, but even with Germany and with Russia with high immigration levels the population is in decline.
