That's really the catch on the illegal immigration stuff isn't it.
We've got to get control of the borders, but the system is screwed
beyond FUBAR for people trying to do it legally. Amnesty screws over
the folks who tried to do it legally by rewarding illegals with what
they couldn't get.
It's SO screwed that there are tons of good people who want to come
here, work, learn, and contribute, and we need them, but they can't
because the politicians have blown it SO bad. At least we aren't alone
on this. Mexico's treatment and laws are brutal, and totally corrupt,
Canada is difficult as hell, etc...
It'd be way too smart, I guess, to build a clear, simple, rational,
fair, and open system to allow people to come here that want to
contribute.

Getting a work visa (H1-B) used to be fairly easy if you have a post
graduate degree, at least back in the day when I worked in the US.
