What are the good points about Kennedy/Kyl?
There are a few redeeming ideas: • A merit-based (or point-based) immigration system can be a boon to the United States, as well as to immigrants. However, the way it is currently designed is unworkable, and worse than the current system. • The severity of the restrictions of the H-1B program has contributed to the problems with it. Kennedy/Kyl would restore some sanity. • It recognizes that we will not have a choice but to provide some way to legalize the currently undocumented population. The convoluted approach in Kennedy/Kyl is likely unworkable, but the general idea is good.
