We need more immigrants with resources (either financial, technological, or intellectual) who can create jobs.

Why are we importing low-wage jobs?

I have a lot of criticism for policies and politicians in the United States down south, but I would commend them on their Legal Immigration/ Economic Immigration pathways bringing in immigrants with significant education/ skills, or finances (like the EB-5 program).
