My take on immigration reform

I'm trying to see more clearly how immigration ought to be “reformed” in the USA. It's pretty obvious that first and foremost,

laws on the book have to be enforced and that a path to legalization of undocumented workers should be established, including significant taxation or fee system for doing so. In addition, we should heavily penalize what I'd call “shady big businesses” like the poultry, meat packing industry or certain agro-businesses, among many others in that league, for hiring and low-bowling undocumented immigrant workers.

The best part of any meaningful bill however, would be to encourage “knowledge workers” i.e. engineers and scientists to come and work in the US. Our universities educate so many bright folks that it's criminal to let them return to their own country in order to compete against us and accelerate the debasing of America's economic leadership. Last, but not least, we ought to encourage health workers, including nurses, doctors, medical specialists and surgeons to come and establish themselves here as well. This would be a wonderful way to start chipping away at the astronomical cost of health care that is caused by a monopolistic culture and is another contributing factor to our economic woes.
