I keep hearing arguments about how immigrants are needed in this country. I agree, but there has to be an ideal way to do it.

My grandfather immigrated from Italy. But to get a visa, he needed a profession so he wouldn’t be a financial burden upon arrival. He was a shoemaker.

The current, flawed system has individuals flooding our borders without regard of any of our laws. These individuals need to properly apply for a visa and be vetted as thoroughly as possible. That would seem to be fair.
