    I do think that the immigration processes need an overhaul, but this is one of the things i would describe as a necessary evil. I don’t think America (or any developed country for that matter) would fare well if they were to make immigration and citizenship attainment a very easy process.

    Would developed countries be able to control the potential security risks, increased labour markets, lower wages and housing scarcity that would occur as a result of massive migration from the third world? I personally don’t think so.

      No one said anything about citizenship. Don’t muddy the waters. This is about legal immigration status so that they can work.

      Would developed countries be able to control the potential security risks, increased labour markets, lower wages and housing scarcity that would occur as a result of massive migration from the third world? I personally don’t think so.

      These are people who are already here. Again, this is not what we are talking about.

        Fair enough. I might’ve misunderstood your argument a little there.
