The root of the problem is really that instead of trying to figure out how to digitize immigration forms, we should be figuring out how to fill capacity within the country and not simply kick poor and underserved communities to the ditch and just cream people from other countries and societies where we are cherry picking off the best. I get it, that won't be a popular sentiment here because the hidden racism backed into immigration to fill holes created by incompetence and ignorance of long term problems by filling them with short term solutions is still quite popular, let alone not even realized. It's kind of like simply going to the title loan place to leverage the future to pay back the credit card of bad past choices. Digitizing the immigration forms is really more of a sad reminder of how racist our country is that we refuse to provide for our own people, while we are more than willing to deprive source countries of success by making people build industries and technologies in their own country. I know, I'm all wrong ... screw those mostly black poor kids in poor neighborhoods and screw those other countries, America needs to undermine their success in order to dominate.

I know a lot of brilliant people from other countries. My mother is an immigrant. You are the racist here. EDIT: Xenophobe.

  Always with the predictable knee-jerk responses. I'm neither a racist nor a xenophobe. I don't hate people because of their origins or race, nor to I not like foreigners. You are surely not going to like hearing ths, but immigrants are essentially moochers on one hand, and traitors on the other. Moochers on both ends because if they were educated for essentially free in, e.g., Europe and come to the USA they both mooched off their source country and then they come to the USA to mooch off what the USA and Americans built. Traitors because they mooched off their country to get an education and are now putting their labor, knowledge, and skill to use for a different country or society instead of building up the country they came from and still hold on to even when they are in the USA. The humongous forest that pro immigrant people can't see for all the trees is that immigration is a core driver and reason for many of not only America's problems, but also the lack of source countries from gaining any traction. All the way from sapping out pressure for social change by motivated people leaving for places where they can mooch over the fight that was already won by others, to extracting the skill and knowledge to do the thing that the do from their society. What pro immigration types don't quite get is that immigration to the USA is like kryptonite or more like a witch that sucks the life force out of the source countries and societies. You may and probably confuse what I said with xenophobia and hatred and are angry because I am not saying your favorite thing, but reality is that I am right, whether you or others realize it. I'm fine with that, but it needs to be said. The point is not about "go back to where you came from" it's "why didn't you put your energy, drive, knowledge, and skill towards your own country and society and instead went to make the rich, richer and the powerful more powerful" Don't complain about America's actions and policies around the world if you are going to support our life force driven economic, political, and military engine.
