Unfortunately, immigration issues are closely tied to our choice of economic systems in the West. Are people willing to negotiate away a portion of capitalism in order to be more picky about immigration.

For the record, even though I am socially liberal on most issues, I am pretty conservative when it comes to some foreign and domestic policies. I think we should take a more isolationist approach, but it would also mean some pretty big changes overall.
