(14 posts)16. Then How Do You Want the Current Immigration System Changed?
I would love if someone who doesn't like the current US immigration system to provide some actual proposals on how it should change. If you were to ask me, I think it's not fair to make H1B immigrants to wait a decade(s) to get a green card and another 5 years to be allowed to be citizens. I think you should make it easier for them to becomes citizens so they can start their own business and hire their fellow citizens.

I'm not sure I think immigration needs change; rather, global labor markets
