When the biggest influx of aliens came here, they had income earing skills.  Things like masons and stoneworkers and farmers, and electricians and bakers, etc.  This country did not have a welfare system, so if you had problems making ends meet, you had to depend on family or the church to get you over a rough patch.  And this was considered an embarassment to be "on the dole".  My grandmother on my mother's side came from Ireland as a young girl as a maid for a wealthy family.  That's right - you had to be sponsored and have job prospects.  A late friend that came over with his family as political refugees, in the mid-1950's.  They had to have a guarenteed place to live and jobs to go to.  They were "sponsored" by family that was already here.  They lived in a very poor section in NYC.  My friend worked and helped to support the family with after school jobs and indeed worked his entire way through college.  They counted on family, not the USG for support.  There were no "ESL" classes.  

I don't see anything wrong with maintaining a standard for the immigrants we allow into this counntry.
