- traek 9y agoBecause the US, like most other countries, has decided for various reasons that unlimited immigration is not a goal of visa legislation.
- conanbatt 9y agoYou would be surprised to find many immigration visas that have no limits then.
- brianwawok 9y agoWhat country or city do you live in? I am sure we can find an armchair policy we should make to help everyone else that you can foot.
- conanbatt 9y agoWill an answer to that question completely change your mind? Also, you imply that immigration restrictions decrease cost, but it's quite the other way around.
- brianwawok 9y agoAn answer to that question will allow me to offer a token suggestion that may make OP reconsider his stance ;) immigration restrictions raise salary for people like me, citizens. Most countries have some form of immigration restriction for similar reasons.
- sumedh 9y agoSo do you want unlimited immigration?
- conanbatt 9y agoYes.
- Antrikshy 9y agoIt's not unheard of. Instead of putting a hard limit and playing the random number generator game with peoples' lives, maybe approve visas on a case-by-case basis...?
- sumedh 9y agoHow many cases? 100, 10K, 100K, million?
- milch 9y agoTo me that sounds like it would make the situation much worse than it already is. Instead of a lottery there would be a waiting list that is hundreds of thousands of entries long and backlogged for years. They'd have to sort by salary or something so that companies don't have to wait for years to hire highly qualified people
