this argument isn't that bad. he makes a bad assumption that living expenses are the same in both countries, but this can easily be remedied. say skilled individuals make $1 an hour in India or China, after expenses. say those skilled individuals make $10 an hour in the United States, after expenses. In one year, they'd gain about $18,000. If you set the fee lower, that's not too bad for a skilled worker. problem is, the bigger issue with immigration is unskilled labor. these people wouldn't be able to pay back loans for entrance fees, and its there that most of the issues with enforcement arise. maybe this would work, but it seems like its solving only a small part of the problem
