    What sort of reform would you be interested in?

    Rather than just be content with a workforce that’s “illegal” maybe we should just make it easier for those interested in work to cross legally with a work visa so they’re tax paying and authorized?

    Like, instead of gating them out, if the issue is they’re undocumented then why not make the documentation process easier? Why not put more resources into tackling the backlog of court cases from immigrants, or improving their path to US citizenship?

    The answer to why we’re not already doing these things is because it’s largely a manufactured issue to keep one side enraged with the other. If you don’t believe me ask the republican led house why they demanded a border security bill, helped create it and then voted against it.

      Eliminate h1b. Create a visa for anyone who wants to work a job with a 5 year renewal. Stronger enforcement iof immigration violations. Quicker process for processing visas.

            Why? Anything can be improved, and it’s a solid foundation.

            Based on this and your previous comments over the last few days I’m having a hard time believing you’re arguing in good faith here.

              There is no way to improve a bad program.

              I am in good faith. Your bias isn’t my problem.

              You’ve never seen me be against immigration. It’s the shitty system I’m against

                What’s bad about it? You haven’t actually said anything beyond your feelings on it.

                It’s not biased to ask for someone else’s thoughts lol.

                  H1b are abusive to immigrants. It gives them lower wages, they are tied to employers, no path to citizenship and if they lose their job. They have 30 days to leave. It’s garbage. Always remember the person

                    Right, so if we pay them more, give them a path to citizenship and an appeals process how would that be worse than completely eliminating for something else that doesn’t exist yet?

                    Your mind seems made up on a rip and replace but there’s nothing else to replace it with, and it would be a lot easier to amend this thing which already exists than it would be to completely pass something else, and in the meantime between eliminating h1b and figuring out what else to do while immigrants who want to come here legally will have to wait.
