Agreed. Instead of letting only smart/educated immigrants in, they let EVERYONE in. This is a horrible idea. If you want to help the poor outside of your count

  this is what switzerland is doing, and it seem one of very few countries, who got the immigration right from the start, in long term. it's a tricky situation... there is more people trying to come here in europe than there is sustainable place (economically wise) to be absorbed into. we have quite a bit of an economical crisis going on here, which doesn't help. so basically masses march in, we have no job for them, meaning they don't contribute to our society, just consume. on the other side, they often come from horrible places, have to endure the travel with real chances of dying. that should tell you a bit how desperate they are. In ideal world, we should focus our resources on improving state of their home countries, so they don't have to run away in first place. In real world... since many screwed countries are results of US (CIA, military) meddling with their internals and failing spectacularly (or succeeding greatly, depending on what the real objectives were), I say forward a large portion of them there. After first 100.000, let's talk :)
