Immigration Solution

“Stop focusing on trying to keep illegal immigrants out and start focusing on letting legal immigrants in,” says Steve Chapman in response to hullabaloo over Arizona’s immigration law. “Enforcement-only advocates often say they are not opposed to foreigners coming here as long as they follow the rules and obey the law. They should take a number and wait their turn, we are told, like the teeming masses of yore. It makes perfect sense until you discover that for most of those who want to come, legal admission is just about impossible.” Chapman thinks the solution is “a big boost in the number of temporary worker visas.”
