Obama is right to try to bring more educated english speaking people to America

 Background: Obama said in an interview with IANS he would support "comprehensive immigration reform", including the H-1B visa program "to attract some of the world most talented people to America". "We know that we cannot and should not put up walls around our economy."^[147]

Reasons to agree:

1. America is like a baseball team. If we are going to beat other countries, we have to recruit the best players. We need to make America attractive to smart people. Smart people should be attracted by our freedom, rule of law, free press, and fair system.
2. Immigration has been an important part of our nation's success. The current system, however, puts up a concrete wall to the best and brightest, yet those without skill or education are able to walk across the border. We must reform the current immigration laws so we can secure our borders, implement a mandatory biometrically enabled, tamper proof documentation and employment verification system, and increase legal immigration into America.
3. "We need to make America more attractive for legal immigrants -- for citizens -- and less attractive for illegal immigrants. I want to see more immigration in our country, but more legal immigration and less illegal immigration." ~ Governor Romney, AP, June 23, 2006

Reasons to disagree:

1. Business people don't want to pay American scientist and engineers very much money and so they want to bring in foreign scientist and engineers. Instead we should turn the tables, and bring in people with MBAs from India, so that American businessmen don't make as much money. Some people with MBAs walk around talking about motivation, and team building, as if it wasn’t just all stupid crap that they make up to make themselves feel important. We should bring in low wage business people to run our companies, and not bring in low wage scientist and engineers.
