The current system makes no sense. Legally it's very easy to get in (just have a look at the legal requirements for various visas, there's barely anything) - easier than most countries. Hell, even citizenship is a piece of cake once you have a green card. But in practice it's 10x harder than it looks. I guess they need to control immigration somehow, but passing new laws is hard, so they just fallback to making it a bureaucratic nightmare based on luck. And the most absurd thing of all: Republicans are supposed to be pro-business, so they should support immigration, but don't. Democrats are supposed to look after the low class, but they're willing to let in more and more low wage workers that put pressure on the wages of their voters...and they keep doubling down on this. So you end up with neither R or D caring about highly skilled workers
