Here's an interesting case just recently heard at SCOTUS...

Under federal immigration law, 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(4)(A), the government may deny non-citizens admission to the US or adjustment to immigration status if they are "likely at any time to become public charge(s)." A coalition of 16 states have sued to force the Fed Gov to enforce the law.

I posted this here because it involves both legal and illegal immigration.

SCOTUS-Toons has an animated video of the oral arguments:

We shouldn't be allowing in any immigrants that can't pull their own weight. That's a given.

If you aren't independently wealthy, you better have a marketable skill or stay home.

At one time it was that way in Canada and Australia. I was offered a job teaching flooring installation in Australia, but they had to advertise the job there for 90 days first to see if a citizen wanted it. I turned it down because I would have been required to stay there for 5 years.

Yep, that is exactly the way it is in every other country that is even the least bit desirable for residency. Even the relatively easy countries for US citizens to gain residency within require significant and long-term economic support from outside the country and/or a very viable and in-demand skill set.

There is no reason we should be any different.
