We are going to expedite family reunions in an 8year period for some people because they would not live long enough to get back with their families. In the future. we are going to have a new system. There is going to be a strong family component. lbut I make no apologies about this. in the future we are going to have immigration based on the global economy and merit. We need to start looking at where we are in the world and making sure people come into our country under a meritbased system. Neither one of my parents graduated high school. There is a way forward for the semiskilled and lowskilled workers to come into our country in the future. But the family component in the future will be spouses and minor children. freeing up thousands of green cards for meritbased employment. They are not going to bring in their adult children unless they have a way to get in on their own. They are not going to bring in their third cousin.
