100% of immigration should be based on merit, meaning (1) having high end job skills the economy lacks and needs, and/or (2) being filthy rich. Everyone else can fuck off. Pools closed.
The US should only bring people in who make our country better and richer for having them. They should be a boon, a "brain drain" such that the world hates us for stealing their best and brightest.
Instead we get a bunch of fucking trash because the Democrats know that trash loves to vote Democrat.
I’m not certain “being filthy rich” is a good merit.
It means they are a net addition to our economy instead of a drain. They spend their money here, which creates jobs, and they don't go on welfare. They pay high taxes.
Doesn’t making it easy for the filthy rich to immigrate encourage the rootless international elite we see today
No because we are talking about immigration, and no "rootless international elite" is going to sign up for high American taxes when they play the "citizen of the world" game.
You basically described the Canadian system. Which is often praised by leftists "omg look how good they do with immigration and integrating people!". But don't you dare mentioning how they only allow skilled people in.
Fuck letting workers in at all right now. Our economy is fucked and fucking the labor pool worse will just mean serf wages for citizens. Labor is supply and demand like anything else, allowing corps to destroy the scale by importing workers is a shit idea.
If a corporation needs more skilled laborers it can pay better or contribute to education for that field. Used to be a company would offer to pay for training in return for a guaranteed x years contract.

Canada takes in plenty of refugees that wouldn't be able to otherwise get entry
Yeah if you have the potential to be a suicide bomber they seem willing to take you

Look, I'm as big of a fan of meritocracy as they come, but I want fucking values in my immigrants.
I want them to integrate if they are allowed to come here.
I don't need any "experts" who happen to be Communists hired by SAGE.
