however, those are for professionals who hold a college degree or advanced. Meanwhile, most of

the people who want to come to work in the country do not have a college degree, which makes

them eligible to apply.

Alternatives. In society, every social problem has solutions that can be found or enforced by

inspecting different methods of law that have been implemented before. However, in illegal

are not able to find a sustainable job in their home countries; others become targets of extremist

alternative would be a system that allows those in communist countries to obtain visas to arrive

in the US and seek asylum; at the same time, this would curtail illegal immigration. The negative
