Current U.S. vetting is 2 years, requires unanimous approval from nine separate agencies, requires thousands in fees from an approved sponsor, and the vast majority of applicants are denied. Of course, certain fact-averse deplorables believe we have "open borders".
I think, if the country weren't so caught up in anti-immigrant hysteria, we would seek to somewhat loosen the requirements, while still keeping the country safe. Do you really need nine separate agencies signing off? Does it really take 2 years to reasonably ensure that a middle class professional family isn't going to be a threat?
I don't know what this means. Sponsors [[churches, nonprofits, etc.) cover most of the relocation fees. No one claimed that all migrants are going to be earning professional salaries the second they step off the plane. Overall they will be a net economic positive, though; putting aside the moral imperative of saving lives, and taking responsibility for a region we destroyed, economists on the right and left agree on the broad economic benefits of immigration.
