Immigration must benefit the home nation

Steve McCann, the author, is an immigrant. I will post another article in which he recounts his story.

The unvarnished truth is that if the United States is to survive as founded, it cannot afford either economically, politically or from a national security perspective to have an undefined, loose and emotion-based immigration policy.
Based on my life’s experience I do have empathy with those seeking a better life and in particular the children who been used as pawns in order for their extended families to access the welfare and economic benefits of living in the United States.  However, I am more concerned about the future of my adopted country and all of my fellow citizens.  I would venture that I am not alone in my outlook, as a vast majority of other immigrants and naturalized citizens are increasingly amazed at the folly that is immigration policy in America.
For many years the various regimes in Washington and the nation’s governing class has been motivated by crass politics and maintaining or increasing their hold on governmental power.   They have not given a damn about the well-being of the people or the future of the country.
