Should [citizenship] preference be given to the neediest applicants? The most talented? The most oppressed? Th
Answer:
You mean to people who can fight our wars in other countries.
Those that will most benefit this country, with an allowance for the hard working poor (not those who live on their children's food stamps and aid to families with dependant children.)
Our laws need to protect our people, and our schools are failing our children, our hospitals are closing, and the reason we are mad is that our government obviously doesn't care.
Yes.
They should be given to those.
Because you know some poor illegals who came illegally because they coudln't afford papers, then yes.
The most oppressed. The talented will make it! lol. US immigration policy so far is biased towards those that are oppressed - which is a great thing in a way.
It should be decided on what is best for the country. That is the way almost all countries handle their immigration laws. For example if you are a machine operator and the country has a shortage of them, you get a preference.
For any country (regardless of how wealthy) to preference only uneducated poor people would be the death of that country.
A country has a duty first to insure its own security and welfare which in turn ensures its people have a country at all.
We should allow only those who have talents that we need in our country to immigrate, or those who can do jobs that Americans aren't doing now. We should concentrate on getting young, healthy people who will help to make our country better. Our current irrational immigration policy is to favor those who have a relative in the USA to get in. We are even allowing parents of newly naturalized Americans to enter our country, and they have little to offer, and will soon qualify for hundreds of thousands of dollars in social spending that they have not paid for.
We need to end chain migration, and the Senate Shamnesty bill does not do that.
Citizenship has to be earned by passing a citizenship test. The amnesty bill if passed would make the current illegal aliens legal "resident" aliens, who have most of the rights of citizens but they can't vote.
