The end of diversity visas, unskilled immigrant admissions, and family chain visas?

[databit 328]

Looks like a few senators are going to try to reduce immigration in a number of ways:

Family chain it's about time.  However, I also see where that could backfire and cause more illegal immigration.

 

I'd be disappointed to see the diversity visa go.

"We are only against the illegal ones", they said. "People coming here legally have nothing to worry about", they said.

Well, let's see people's reaction when illegal immigration skyrocket and spin out of control with the wall built and this bill turned into law.

Doubtful that the majority care or are even aware of these categories

That's why I want to see their reaction. I'm curious about the next thing people will blame for illegal immigration. And what they will ask in order to fix it. The next president may be elected promising to build a bubble or to move the nation to another planet.

If you just let everyone enter legally then you have no illegal immigration.

 

DV has never made sense to me and when there are 65,000,000 Refugees and counting, 50,000 more or less is irrelevant.

Too late it's already out of control and has been for some time

Really? Because the number of undocumented immigrants have been dropping. It is on a 13 years low. There are more Mexicans leaving than coming. So how can it be out of control? I understand there are still millions of illegal immigrants here. But as someone who has gone through this whole immigration journey, don't you think that the process is way too subjective, confusing, bureaucratic, repetitive, too expensive for the quality of the service provided and on top of it all the government agencies absolutely do not have any "synch", organization or knowledge towards the basic rules of legal immigration? Don't you think that fixing that, as a priority, would attract more people? Not only to come in legally, but also to be properly vetted. To me, it's like any other service: improve it and you will get more customers.

The fact that there are many many millions of illegals here working  and many many millions of Americans  not working and receiving tax payer money is so broken Helen Keller could see it.

If that belly got hungry they would d of those jobs. Belly isn't going to get hungry cause tax payers taking care of you.

 Wage stagnation and immigration are two different issues. Not sure why they are trying so hard to link them. I would rather Republicans spend more time working on fixing wage stagnation, since that is the issue their policies have contributed the most to.

 

   Immigration, especially illegal immigration, both parties have had plenty of chances to address over the years and they haven't. I have every confidence they will address immigration and talk a lot about it, but not so much that they will fix the broken parts. As if DV's and family visa's are the big problem with the system. 

[The Nature Boy 7,659]

Now that we can agree on. There will be a lot of hot air and the ball will be kicked down the road.

You are wrong. There are many illegals that take jobs from Americans because they want lower wages than Americans do. Construction anyone?

Ok, like all the Illegals are Mexicans. Well all the Illegals are not Mexicans at all they are people from all different countries. I live in SoCal and I have heard some interviews of CBP agents calling in to give the real scoop to people and not the white washed one. The agents have stated that the majority of Illegals they are catching are Central Americans, Chinese, and Indians(yes from India). That is not being told to the general public at all. Also I have literally been right down by the border out in the middle of the Sonora desert, and their are way states out there written in three different languages English, Spanish, and Chinese.
