A country can only take so much people a year. There must be adequate employment, housing, education, health services and other infrastructure to support more people. This is especially true for immigration that is not tied to employment. If you can choose to only take the top, which America mostly could as it is the most desired immigration country in the world, you would prioritize the top. If there's a limited amount of spots, why won't you prioritize the superstars over just talented and hard working? So the top 0.1% of the total population, that's likely a good deal (on top of the employment oriented visa which have less of a strain on the economy). | ||

> There must be adequate employment, housing, education, health services and other infrastructure to support more people. The same logic applies in reverse: there must be sufficient people to create adequate employment, housing, education, health services, and other infrastructure. Have you considered that a lot of the people wanting to immigrate are able to provide a lot of those things? (P.S. I wonder why ICE keeps targeting construction crews lately -- and is it possible allowing more immigration might actually help us get more housing? Food for thought.) |
