[QUOTE="Ethan N, post: 3234586, member: 29267"] It’s unnecessary to have a a skills-based test. The market can decide who will be successful at migration better than the government can. All that’s needed is to make anyone who’s not a citizen ineligible for all government charity (welfare programs), and to eliminate limits on immigration so anyone can give it a shot, as long as they’re not a criminal or suspected terrorist. If they can make it here financially without assistance long enough to become a citizen, it’s obvious they are contributing something valuable to the economy, which means their presence benefits all of us. If they can’t sustain themselves long enough, they’ll go somewhere else. This system would simultaneously lower immigration overall because it’s less attractive without welfare, and virtually eliminate illegal immigration, since almost anyone would be able to migrate lawfully in a reasonable amount of time. Anyone crossing the border illegally would almost certainly be someone who was ineligible for immigration due to a criminal history (otherwise they just would go through a port of entry and be documented), simplifying border enforcement. However, we also need high cultural assimilation requirements for naturalization, otherwise unlimited immigration may contribute to destabilizing our society under certain circumstances (as if it’s stable now – ha!). Migrants must melt. If someone isn’t interested in assimilating, migrating to the US isn’t for them. A harmonious culture is essential to the success of a nation. [/QUOTE]
