Immigration reform

It’s clear that the U.S. needs a better immigration system. That said, let’s see if I have this right. The incoming administration wants to deport most immigrants. But that’s not exactly it. They want to deport some of them, ones who work in jobs that Americans won’t work, such as harvesting crops, food and hospitality service, roofing. These are the people who are not taking jobs from Americans.

On the flip side, they want to increase immigration for foreign-born workers in scientific, engineering and high-tech jobs. These are highly skilled, highly paid jobs. These are positions that do take away jobs, very good jobs, from Americans.
