Option 3 -Admit the Talent We Need Group members: Cale Daniel Laura James Myles


 * We need as much talent and experience so we can compete in the economic future. We should pursue the policy of awarding 200,000 visas annually. This is so that the flow of immigrants that would be coming in would be more educated then in past years. They would be helpful to our economy.
 * Reduce the total annual immigration to 500,000. This would include refugees.
 * During any economic down turn the number of immigrants should be lowered until the economy is stable.
 * To allow a very limited number of workers to come in and work temporarily.
 * To offer scholarships to foreigners with graduates in Science, engineering and other high-tech and important fields.
 * Denial all services to illegal aliens. That includes health-care, welfare and education, except in cases of emergency.


 * PROS
 * Admitting mainly people who are highly skilled and educated will decrease the amount that the government has to put into welfare, health-care and social services.
 * Making the immigration policy to attract immigrants who have the most to offer the the American industry. This would especially help in the high-tech science fields.
 * Allowing people to come on work visa's to keep the low wage workers in the American industries.
 * Help keep America a leader in revolutionary technology, through skilled immigrant workers.


 * CONS
 * It may drain poor countries of their most-educated professionals.
 * Doesn't allow the needy who may not be educated to enter the United States.
 * May hinder some of the immigrants who do the grunt work of American society.
 * Might cause in increase in wages required to do the jobs the uneducated immigrants did for low wages.
 * May promote more illegal immigration.
