The quote you posted literally refers to skilled workers, students, etc. Exactly the kind of migrants any country needs.

Not really because what would be the last straw, and no one in the USA would buy it, would be to talk about facilitating the process for illegal immigrants but not for legal ones. Also, in the same article it talks about facilitating their access to benefits sooner, which is an important point of what we are talking about. The massive illegal immigration promoted by leftist politicians both in the USA and in Europe treats them as benefit recipients from the very first moment, something that would have been unheard of several decades ago.

Also, this is the Dems, so we can see where this is going.

California Dems want to help undocumented immigrants buy homes – during presidential race

In other words, these are not wonderful reforms that will bring only talented people and will make the country much better, here it is about filling the country with illegal immigrants very quickly, facilitating the naturalization process, giving them aid from the first moment and thus turning them into happy customers who will always vote Democrat (the same can be applied to Labor in the UK or other socialist parties in Europe).

At any rate, if such an improbable thing were to happen, maybe involving courts / SC, I think we would find an amicable solution.

Despite our differences of thought, I am quite sure of this.

After watching the VP debate, I'd rather see both of these guys running for president, but I'd probably vote Vance there because he just makes more sense to me. I think Trump (cleverly) picked a VP who is more centered, but the reality is Trump will still make the decisions and Vance will have to go along with it. It's sad because I kinda feel like both of the VP's are more passionate about the country than either presidential candidate.

Well, I don't live in the USA but for preference I think I would have preferred almost any other candidates than Kamala and Trump.

I feel like this somehow has to be done before they come into the country. I'm all for immigration and agree the country was built on it, and many immigrants have helped the country, but it feels like these days many are inside of the country (without being vetted at all) and posing a burden on local resources without contributing to taxes or otherwise, at a much higher rate than ever before, while all of this is happening for (at least) 5 years?

I 100% agree.
