It seems to me this is EXACTLY what we need. It's what we had before Kennedy's disasterous 1965 immigration "reform." http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2007/4/19/143015.shtml?s=ic Britain Adopting 'Points' Immigration Britain will adopt a points-based system restricting immigration to those with skills in need and rejecting those who would compete with local workers for unskilled jobs. The system, which follows an Australian model, would assign points to immigration applicants according to their skills and job prospects in the United Kingdom, and place applicants in one of five tiers. The first tier, for highly skilled applicants such as scientists and entrepreneurs, will be launched at the beginning of next year, according to the Sydney Morning Herald in Australia. It will be followed later in the year by tiers for skilled workers, such as nurses and teachers with job offers.

That and a heavily armed border!

We have had immigration quotas since the early 1900s. The problem with illegal immigration to get around those quotas is actually that old. The Mexicans are just the latest flavor. Originally, the quotas were set in stone per the 1890 census. Whatever ethnic mix existed in 1890 was maintained. For example, if America were 2% Japanese, only 2% of immigrants could be Japanese. (I don't know if it's related or not, but the 1890 census is the only one ever destroyed by fire. All other census records are still intact as far back as 1790.)

I think that would be an excellent reform, although we must first stop the waves of illegal immigration from our borders.
5 :
Great idea...BUT!... Keep in mind that nations like Brittan and Japan are island nations. The U.S. is not. If we were an O'Neil Cylinder at point L-5, it might be difficult for "undocumenteds" to cross the expanse of space and enter. We are not. We need a wall first. And a proper guard, befitting a nation of our stature. Then, we can deal with legislation issues. Otherwise, those who violate our laws and are sent back, will just return. who needs that?

Yes... maybe then we will have more jobs !!! Now they are hitting our highways in semi-trucks not caring CDLS and our D.O.T standards on trucks. More U.S. jobs taken , better yet more snuck across our border. When does it start April 23rd, if you truck join thee slow roll April 23,24,and 25th. Run 2X2 down the interstate...do your job....at legal minium speed.Circle of Wagons ....bumper to bumper all three days at the national capitol and all 48 state capitols...JOIN THE AMERICAN TRUCKER TRUCK OUT RALLY.

This system would cater to white collar people while leaving blue collar people (migrant workers, etc.) in the dust. I guess that it would fit perfectly here as that seems to be the American way these days...
8 :
WOW. I am a US citizen and would never make it point wise.
9 :
Yes, but laws won't do any good if they aren't enforced.
10 :
But we need first to finish the wall along the border, hiring of course, illegal workers to make it cheaper, hoping not to be fined. lol ( it really happened to a construction company, which was fined for hiring illegals on this task ). Seriously. I thing that the British system would work, Let's think smart and do the right things to fit the USA necessities without prejudice.
11 :
we need to adopt this plane into our system. good for the British.
12 :
Sounds good - but unless there is enforcement of the laws - and that means no longer will there be any amnesty given - I don't see just making the changes are going to do any good. Without a positive enforcement - it leaves us in the same mess that we are in already. First we have to get rid of the illegals. Fine those that are giving them jobs and incentive for coming here. Enforce the laws already on the books - THEN maybe start thinking of possible changes to keep this mess from happening again. Cause such does need to be addressed. We have programs that are so over burdened that they are at a breaking point - as well as the taxpayers just can't pick up any more of the tab.

I'm not aware that the UK has any immigration system in place other than 'If your a dreg from a third world country,come on in'. You should visit the UK sometime. No problem finding an Indian restaurant. Blaaa!
