There should be equal opportunity for all, with the understanding that competitive skills matter.

We need all kinds of skills. The process should give value to highly skilled people, but skills should be just a part of the process.

High-skilled wannabe immigrants should be denied visas as they sure aren't seeking "jobs no Americans will take"!
