Wee need more plumbers and electricians too, but we also steer too many to university that would do quite well financially in such roles.
And we have a lot of unskilled (potential) workers in the US that could pick fruit and id be fine if the salaries rose enough to make it attractive for them.
What does any of that have to do with “merit”? The bias is still implicit in the statement. Engineers and Physicians are of higher merit than the others. Got it.

What is your objection to the above?
Are you objecting to having a hierarchy for such "merit" at all, or are you objecting to the placements of different vocations on that hierarchy?

I have an alert set up on my phone for when anybody becomes a US citizen, and I didn't see that one. Knowing TG, she may have gone through secret channels. Her spy network is legendary. She may actually have multiple US citizenships, under multiple names.

If you had an Android, the software would have worked as intended.

I’m for tightening up the hell out of ‘asylum’ claims so we don’t get economic refugees with made-up sad stories. Then make more legal immigration based on merit.
I agree with this. Immigration is the only thing that is keeping the US growing right now.
Without immigration, we would be like many other developed countries and see a slow/medium population decline.
We? Are you a citizen?
