We absolutely need to control the border and prevent illegal immigration.
But to have an immigration policy that is based on what's best for this country and its citizens? Wow.
I wonder how many of us would be here if such a policy were in place at the time our families immigrated here.

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
