    Advanced vetting capability? Triple check instead of double check eh?

    "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

    Um, nix that, we are getting our house in order here. So stay away... there is no room in the inn...

    This.

    Right wing populism is under the impression we don't have our own tariffs against other countries, we don't subsidize our own industries, and the we have lost every single trade agreement.

    That's right. That was then, this is now.

    What's stopping other countries from stepping in and taking the tempest tossed immigrants?

    I am guessing their own economic problems. Seems we are lowering the bar... "We shouldn't take in immigrants if other countries won't". But OK, you think the US stops taking in immigrants... what can the US do to get other countries to take in immigrants we refuse?

    I know you're too stupid to understand but yea. Basically use traditional vetting sources but add newer technology sources including social media. The same way HR at any corporation does it but with government resources.

    Not stop.... don't put words in my mouth, but temporarily reduces immigration.

    The US can ask other countries to increase their own quotas.

    You cut immigration by raising the standard actually. You fill in the gaps of society, which means getting the best talent. You don't let in migrants in areas where average Americans can do the work quite ably because added competition drives wages down and displaces the population. America's opportunities for Americans first.

    Huh? Thought you nationalists didn't like the H1B visas either? Maybe you are a snowflake. So allow skilled immigrants, but don't allow low skilled immigrants?

    They should just cut Europeans from immigration - that would be the best to keep housing costs down. I would support that. No more white Euros coming in and stealing our housing!

    Maybe if you whitey's studied instead of playing so much football you could get into engineering college as well instead of trying to work manufacturing jobs at a minimum wage you are opposed to being raised.

    Seems like "reduce" would have been a better and more accurate adjective.

    Maybe if brown folk would start behaving like civilized human beings, they would fix their crappy countries and wouldn't have to come here.
