    Actually, there’s nothing wrong with ending asylum. Admission to the US should be based on talent or needed skills.

      Why? Americans aren’t held to that standard. If natural born citizens aren’t talented or skilled, should they be expelled from the country? Who decides what talented or skilled is?

        There has to be some criteria for permitting an immigrate into the country. Having talent or skills is a good criterion since a country will benefit from it. Industry will determine needed talent or skills.

      Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

      Oh also, fuck you.

        Sounds good but doesn’t work in practice. Who will feed and house these huddle masses?

          The huddled masses created this country. They will house and feed themselves just as they’ve done for 250 years. All they need is for assholes like you to stop eliminating any chance they have for success just to give all of the privileges to the white people who stole the land.
