It is not available. Between 1880 and 1924 we had open immigration- albeit only from certain countries. Still if you were from those countries and you weren’t sick you could come here and be processed. There was no line or waiting list. Thats what I want, except that I want every country on Earth to have an equal opportunity. Despite what @Strike and others keep asserting, it’s what I’ve always wanted- my entire life.
But I’m also very sympathetic to those who come here illegally. These are mostly good, mostly hard working people looking for a better life. We can’t take them all in as quickly as they come so I’m not opposed, now, to measures to stop them. When it was smaller numbers I didn’t care so much. But even now I feel terrible about it. I don’t see these folks as villains at all and it pisses me off that so many people, mostly on the right, do.
