What is wrong with the US immigration system/law?
Most of my life I've been hearing that we (The USA) need immigration reform. I keep hearing we need to fix immigration. The politicians spout off about it and the media absolutely make it a forefront issue.
Barack Obama thinks he needs to fix it
George W. Bush thought he needed to fix it.
Bill Clinton thought he needed to fix it.
George H. W. Bush thought he needed to fix it.
Ronald Reagan tried to fix it with amnesty for illegal aliens.
The media has been omnipresent declaring immigration a problem.
Last year numerous people I work with acquired US citizenship. They come from varied countries... India, England, Jamaica, Ukraine, Brazil, Japan, South Africa, Sweden, Germany, France, Namibia, Australia, Russia, Mexico, China and others.
All these people from all these different countries managed to legally immigrate to the US and then managed to legally acquire citizenship.
So, what the heck is broken with our immigration policy? The media and the politicians keep saying it is broken, that we need immigration reform, but what exactly is broken? The legal immigration that I see seems to be working pretty well, aside from it being a slow process.
