Our lawmakers are supposed to study population trends & statistics. Consultants are hired for that. A lot of factors are taken into consideration, such as diversity. This is the reason why some countries are not eligible to join the visa lottery- because a lot of people from said countries are already migrating, either through family petition (e.g. Mexico) or H1B visa (e.g. India).

In the United States it's decided by the Senate.
They estimate it by population control and job availability.

Its not based on market suppy and demand for workers for immigration. The problem is weak labor laws that allow undercutting and cheating of all workers. We accept too many family based immigrants at the expense of people wanting just to work a couple years and go home. We need make it easier for people to work here if they have the qaulifcations, experience. Yet, we need to make it harder to become a American citizen, and maybe borrow a couple immigration laws from Mexico. If the immigrant cant contribute to the ecomony bar them any chance at citizenship. Citizenship should based on knowlegdge, of US consitution, Common Law, Basic English skills, and Work ethic. Need to rid the 14th amenment allow Anchor Babies, and family immigration visa should be curtailed. Want to live in America go to work, and cant use the Family connections to get in. Dual citizenship should only be allowed by countries that allow it for Americans. Guest worker programs should be based on market conditions, and make number of Guest Workers allowed based on countries willing to give Americans a change to work in thier labor markets. Immigration should be worker, and brain exchange. Instead the immigration system is setup as a resource drain on taxpayers having to pay for anchor babies, and education of anchor babies. The number allowed should be allowed in be the same as now, but eliminate Family visas, Marriage Visas, refugee visa. Have a work visa as the only visa system, but make it have skill matching for workers, and allow people overseas with qaulifcation equal to yours apply for job, but the jobs applied for must be going rate for American worker average. The work visa would apply to workers of all skill levels if they have at least a 9th grade education, and the test given would be math, science, history test given to worker visa applicants.
It be similar test done at colleges, and the workers that dont meet the thershold would be given one more re-take on the test than if failed again cant apply for a visa for 2 years. Also, allowing removal process for people not here legally to work would be automatic deportation procedings.
