| Fixing Immigration
Levin, Yuval
Commentary,
May 2007, v123, #5; pp49-55
The article discusses the problems associated with the U.S.'s legal immigration policy. To this day, current immigration policy is dictated by the 1965 Immigration Act, which was a Cold War product and favored family reunification. These are no longer reasonable standards, argues the author and that the U.S. should consider what the purpose of its immigration policy is. The article argues that extended family reunification should be dropped in preference for meeting economic needs. The author believes that the biggest problem the US face is not illegal aliens, but how we deal with the newcomers we lawfully admit. Yuval Levin, who formerly served on the White House domestic-policy staff, is a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D. C. and senior editor of the New Atlantis.
