This is a pretty shoddy article and doesn’t go over the history of how our 1965 law inadvertently set too low a cap on Western hemispheric immigration at less than 1/10th of historical flows, creating the undocumented problem. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3407978/ …https://twitter.com/davidfrum/status/1105103674731315200 …

The entire category has become so politicized over the course of the last 50 years because of that one last-minute decision on caps in 1965 that it makes it impossible to discuss skilled, family and refugee immigration.
