Immigration as a policy

Of course. You just can’t have unfettered and unvetted access to the US.

For you to ask this question means you have somewhat of a soul left.

Before you legally step foot on American soil, every immigrant must be able to read and speak English at an 8th grade level.

That's the first necessary rule for any sort of legal immigration or asylum bullshite.

Our immigration process should most definitely be streamlined and an overall easier experience. Yes, the gov should be selective and thorough but the lists and waiting periods should be drastically truncated whenever possible, to allow genuinely good people willing to work and create a better life for themselves and their families to get their chance in a far less protracted process.

And our border, simultaneously, should absolutely be 100% sealed and heavily monitored. The eff bee eye is still arresting people for merely lawfully attending the J6 demonstration based on grainy low-res photos from two blocks away and they'll still track you down in Hisle, SD... but they tell us that it's impossible to secure the border we share with a wholly corrupt country.

I’d like us to let more immigrants in…

BUT

I’d also like us to send people out. Cities and countries used to banish people back in the day. We need to take those dregs of society that have no hope of rehabilitation, revoke their citizenship and send them to Somalia or North Korea.

The overall worldwide population has gone up, the ease of transportation has gone up,so I wouldn't do it exactly like the 19th century.

But with some tweaks, of course immigration is fine. Should be faster, probably a bit more in depth, and there should be caps and requirements. But yes on legal, controlled immigration.

Some solid ideas above.

Operation Wetback II followed by a complete restoration of a strict merit system.

You need to have the ability to be self-sufficient and actually contribute to society. We have enough potential day laborers fricking around in Home Depot parking lots.

It needs to begin and end at the US Embassy in their home country, too. More rigorous deportation of illegals with getting popped here automatically putting a 10 year penalty on trying to do it the right way afterwards.

1. 6 week quarantine period. Line them up, medically check them for disease , ticks and fleas. Include lice as well. You get the shots, like it or not.

2.During the six week term.....a steady diet of English lessons. Turn on the TV and coach while they learn.

Mess up one time, could careless if the Cartel is waiting for you at gate.

Considering we are a first world country the policy should have used the Billions of dollars now spent on the illegal shitebag do nothings on the good people that wanted a better life for them and their family.
Processed in a timely manner would be nice as well.
What’s being done now is a slap in the face of every immigrant who came through the original process, not to mention the Americans who have a family and would like to keep them safe.
Never would have imagined seeing something like this happening in my lifetime. Especially considering the amount of terrorist country’s with people who hate us .
