It looks as if the US is going to implement an immigration law that mimics what countries like Australia have, a sort of point system that favors the well-educated and English-speaking. OK, there is a big shortage of plumbers and people in the other trades in OZ, so now the law favors people with a trade rather than lots of degrees.

Still, I prefer a system that leans toward taking in the poor and the downtrodden and all that stuff on the Statue of Liberty. I guess my ancestors all came tothe US with nothing, and I think others should have the same chance.

What do you think of the proposed changes?
