Immigration Reform

I am heavily inclined towards a humanitarian approach to immigration and naturalization.

Immigration is good for America, assuming that the immigrants are the best educated and most highly motivated members of their society. Allowing uneducated fruit pickers to become American citizens simply because they haven't committed any serious crimes recently is not necessarily as good for America. But we still should try to treat these foreigners decently.

Whoever they are, whatever social class they come from, a demonstrated proficiency in speaking and reading/writing in the English language must be an absolute requirement to gaining permanent resident status or American citizenship. A country cannot continue to function properly unless all the members of the society can communicate well with each other.
