Let him figure it all out by himself when he feels like it.
- rayiner 5y agoI think expressions of sympathy are counterproductive. Desis need to be clear eyed about the fact that the immigration system doesn’t operate on sympathy or feelings, but is a product of the economic and political incentives of different groups. One group may say kind things but that shouldn’t be a sign that things may be different in the future. Skilled immigration reform is a low political priority and desis should head to Canada or Australia.
- FerociousTimes 5y agoI am not sure why you keep repeating the talking point that Americans don't want legal and skilled immigration anymore without any evidence to back up your claim because as Gallup poll [1] suggests that dissatisfaction with immigration levels (legal or illegal) was on a downward trend and hit an all-time low last year.

- rayiner 5y agoWhat your chart shows is that only 9% of Americans want to increase immigration levels, which would be both the actual and perceived effect of any effort to create a real permanent immigrant system for skilled workers.
- FerociousTimes 5y agoWhat the chart reveals is that there's no general dislike for immigration and more specifically immigrants themselves as your previous comments might suggest.
