From a humanitarian standpoint, we should have more legal immigration.
IMHO, we should have more of the give me your tired, your poor, the huddled masses, and less of the buy your way in with an “investment creating jobs” that are the same exploitive BS they made they’re money in their home country with.
All that said, what makes some person that came here via plane or boat and instead of going home said “f-you’ I’m staying more deserving to be allowed to stay than the people waiting desperately trying to do it on the up & up?
What makes the person who flat out sneaked in, violating the border laws with the intent of violating the laws and living here in violation of the laws, more deserving to be allowed to stay than those people waiting?
