It's more than just about the votes. We have two political parties who don't care about doing the right thing. We have millions of jobs with nobody to fill them. We have about four million citizens who are qualified to work but left the job market during the covid epidemic and aren't returning.

Republicans don't want to fix immigration - they want to shut it off. Democrats are the opposite. The real truth is in between. We should have a program for temporary admission of workers and give them ability to earn citizenship based on stringent criteria (learning the language, educational attainment, civic responsibility, etc.). Then we could start to fill some of these needed jobs.

Both parties should seriously look to get people on the fence back to work and get workers to fill jobs nobody seems to want.

Sorry about the rant, but I grow weary about the inability of both parties to get important work done because no one can compromise. China is going to easily surpass us because we can't row the oars together.

This is on all of us.

I'm no expert on this topic (although I really SHOULD BE, by now) {I've worked with and socially "interacted with" ...[Think: "bending elbows" here]... far more individuals from various parts of Planet Earth, than I can bring myself to believe, is "standard"} ¿Does this individual not WANT to "become an American Citizen"? ... That could be the case... A lot of people don't wanna"give up" their "Native born citizenship"; which, again; I'm not really an expert on "Dual-Citizenship", either. A visa would become unnecessary, at the point in time, when Citizenship would be secured.
If they have no desire to actually live here and become a "productive American Citizen"; then, let them go back to the land of their birth and... Hell... I've even offered to buy one woman, a one-way plane ticket!!! (She would sit at the bar ¡¡&/or the lunch table at work!! & BITCH about America!!!)
If they don't really want to be an American, it is my understanding, that MANY Americans are "out of work", right now... I say: (I should say that I HAVE said) : "Don't let the door hit ya in the A$$!!! They "like it better " somewhere else, lettem go somewhere else!
