Last year, I proposed some ideas for immigration reform. It looks like Senators Tom Cotton and David Perdue may have perused my considered opinion and offered a more merit-based system of immigration. The big problem with a merit-based system is that those immigrants will consume less government than the current unmerited immigrants. Sure, that may sound like the preferred situation but that is like a business turning away customers. Government provides services. The more customers it has, the better. Self-sufficiency is the bane of government. Vast bureaucracies require 'customers.' If everyone was self-sufficient, the government might have to scale back the nanny state. Oh, hell no! Thus we get the Tsarnaev brothers who receive welfare and college tuition from the taxpayer while planning the Boston Marathon bombing.
If an immigrant can't support himself, he needs to be deported back to his country of origin. Don't import liabilities. Duh. Because this is patently obvious, I am virtually certain it will never get through Congress.
