Ummm terrible example. If you have money you can quickly buy your legal way into the US. All it takes is $500k-1million and ~10 jobs created. People with money to invest jump straight to the front of the line. People who come here illegally(of the Hispanic variety) do so because they would be in queue for 15-20 years to come here legally.
There is a bigger threat of flooding skilled labor by expanding H1Bs. There is not a skilled labor nor a stem shortage. People wanting to expand H1Bs are only wanting to further depress wages of skilled employees.
Read my post AGAIN.
I said "smart" as with skill, education, able to speak and write English , NOT RICH AS Elon Musk.

I refer folks that can contribute right away and I don't have to "press 2 for Spanish".
Reading comprehension skill is a good thing to have.
10-20 years to get here legally? Too bad, they are not alone (LEGAL immigrants from Europe, Asia, Africa are waiting for years too) but that is NOT a excuse to sneak in ILLEGALLY and then have the nerve to demand amnesty.
I will leave this here (I did not write it).
Only in America...would they make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege, while they discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just 'magically' become American citizens
