I think a lot of people seem to be confused about the intent behind the high-skilled-only immigration policies. An immigration policy that only accepts high-skilled immigrants is not a humanitarian or bleeding-heart policy. It's the most red blooded Reagan capitalist position to have. These are not "the poor, the tired, the hungry..." refugees. In their home countries they would probably eventually own their own homes, be middle class, above the poverty line, or even top 1%. They aren't being rescued. The main beneficiaries are corporations and shareholders.
