I've heard several people on here saying how illegal immigration is not the only problem we have with immigration but apparently legal immigration needs some fixing too.
Some folks say that our current wave of immigration, both legal and illegal, is at a level were we are receiving a bit too many immigrants at once who aren't really making an effort to assimilate (we already know the vast majority of illegals have no intention of assimilating in the first place) and that it's really beginning to burden us when it comes to accomodating them.
One major proposal is to restrict legal immigration by a variety of ways including limiting the number of visa's we give out each year, ending chain migration for sure, and other such means etc, for a period of time so we can assimilate the number of immigrants (again inluding legal) we have year before we accept another wave of immigration.
So what do you think? does legal immigration need more restriction as well? Yes? No? Why?
Thanks.

Yes we should set strict immigration limits and stop allowing in unskilled, uneducated and poor just ...because.
WHY not attract the top people in every field instead of the bloodsucking leeches.
Until we are able to house the homeless and feed America's hungry, why bring more takers than givers into our society??

Until more people get involved by writing, calling or whatever to the people holding State and Federal positions/offices this will not get resolved. They have to be told that they aren't getting all their votes to be in office by immigrants,and special interest groups., the America people want to see changes made soon to preserve this country of ours that is being over run because of their actions to allow the immigration programs to become a problem.
I think everyone should be in favor of restricting all visas,,immigration, and approval of citizenship until the government can correct the problems we are face with now.
There are a large number of problems that need to be corrected, one being that non-speaking people that don't want to speak English can sue their employer or whomever. There should be no questions, if you're going to enact with people, everyone speaks the English language.
When anyone goes into a non English speaking country, you can expect to find it hard to understand or be understood, it shouldn't be that way here in the United States.
YES-YES, legal immigration needs more restrictions.

They need to raise the education standard and reinforce the language requirement. Most of those who don't assimilate are un-educated and don't speak much English. Plus, the global competition(with China, India and other industrial countries) is upon us, whether people want to accept it or not. Taking in gabs and gabs of un-educated, un-skilled, cheap-laborers or entry-level workers is a sure way to bring the U.S. to the gang of third world in no time!!

Immigration must be regulated in order to prevent the entry of those who are not qualified to work and will just be dependent on welfare.

The gov gives out 800,000 to 1,000,000 permanent residency cards a year. We simply cannot absorb all of that. We need to be on a point system.
