The control is important, one function of an immigration quota system is to determine economic parameters for who gets in that serve the country, not the wishes of the immigrant population.

But one can argue that the immigrants that come currently come because the marketplace has jobs for them, whereas you are advocating shifting that function to government. I'm playing devils advocate here ... but its the point I want to make. People who scream about governments distorting markets tend to do it only in certain cases. Again, I'm not opposed to the government playing an interventionist role in picking winners and losers in immigration per se (both the immigrant individuals and the USA entities that benefit), but I don't see it as a remarkable improvement either. It gets even worse IMO when like the H1B visa program, a worker must actually have a job offer. In that case it smacks a bit of the government handing favors to individual companies.

Regarding the gang/crime aspect, sure. But once again, a simple glance at the Safeway checkout stand tabloid front pages would indicate we don't care too much about all the Celebs taking those drugs. Whole 'nuther issue.

Perhaps we should have invaded Mexico, not Iraq.
