The American new Immigration
System is merit oriented and points-based, and it is inspired by the Canadian
immigration points-based system. But Canada is not the only country having this
system: Australia and New Zealand do, too. This points-system is like
democracy: Although imperfect, it is the best they have. The points-system is
more merit based than any other system, but it is imperfect. Authorities
acknowledge this and they constantly improve it. For example, Australia has
introduced in June 2019 new reforms of the points system that would give more
points to those single and not necessarily with a partner (with low English
skills that needs training on the expense of the society, for example), or for
those choosing some areas of Australia (that need more inhabitants to sustain
the local economy), etc. According to the New Zealand system, in order to be
able to express your immigration interest the immigrant must score a minimum of
points that is only reachable with an employment offer from a New Zealand
employer that should offer the immigrant a job from a specific list of job
shortage in New Zealand.
The U.S. Presidential Debate (and its 2nd part) is now at the phase of finding the right candidate from the Democrats, in order
to oppose the current U.S. President Donald Trump, who campaigns to be
reelected. In which concerns the U.S. immigration policy, none of the Democrats
have a vision about the way it should look like that would compete with the
points-based system suggested by Donald Trump. Instead they all have personal
views on precise immigration matters mostly inspired by the recent crisis at
the U.S. Southern Border. These personal views are about whether or not it is a
civil or criminal offence to illegally cross the border; or whether or not undocumented
immigrants should be allowed a health insurance; or whether or not to deport
the immigrants who committed crimes in the United States, as well as different
views on what ‘family reunification’ should mean.
The argument of a
candidate that the U.S. needs seasonal workers (and as a consequence Trump’s
policy of having a border and an organized immigration system is wrong) is not
sustainable because the U.S. Embassy releases the ‘H’ visa for seasonal
workers, if there is a U.S. shortage in this field. Trump’s points-based new
American Immigration Policy cannot be worse than the systems applied in Canada,
Australia and New Zealand, where they actually been functioning for decades
already and provided results to the whole of the society in term of skills,
values and security.
Furthermore, there
were a lot of emotions around the situation of children in the U.S. Southern border
crisis long rolling saga, the Democrats opposing the way Donald Trump separated
children from their families and the fact that federal agents put children to
adoption. At this point, I am not convinced that they were put to ‘adoption’,
but rather to ‘foster-families’ until the situation was getting under control.
The separation of children from families is terrible for both the parents and
the child (and hard at all ages), but in the Southern border crisis, in which
adults were undocumented, children were sold or kidnapped in order for
unscrupulous adults to pose as family and the children were re-used over and
over, some were abused and girls over 10 years old raped, who can possible say
who’s who? Maybe separating children from so-called parents was not the most
enlightened decision, but a decision must have been taken quickly and more in
favor of the children than of the adults, all assuming that they were the
parents of those children, but very few of them presenting any documents in
this sense.
And because I want
to be as objective as possible, I would love to make Democrats a pleasure and
use their arguments on immigration and apply them on their political opponent,
Donald Trump. Although Donald Trump is the President of the United States, he
is a citizen. And no citizen is above the law. The citizen Trump (not the
President) not content with the policies of the Democrats so far, could have
been himself an immigrant. The undocumented immigrant Trump is smuggled into
any country in this world that the Democrats choose. Is the undocumented
immigrant Trump allowed to have health care? Due to the fact that he is
undocumented and illegal, he will have difficulties in finding a job. He will
automatically commit a smaller or a bigger felony. Shall the host country
deport him, because he did not show respect to the host country? Or shall he be
forgiven and allowed to commit others against citizens who entered the country
legally or have been living in that country building it with their taxes? The
undocumented and illegal immigrant Donald Trump who has committed a felony in
the host country, has a wife and a son back in his country of origin. Shall he
be allowed to reunify with his family? And what does this mean: Shall he only
be allowed to bring only the wife and son, or shall he be allowed to bring
uncles and aunts, grandfathers and grandmothers? (to be continued)
