The legally unencumbered movement of people across borders reaps huge net economic benefits for all parties concerned. Congress should enhance the benefits of immigration by implementing less restrictive immigration laws with the ultimate goal of an immigration system that lets non-criminal, non-terrorist, and healthy immigrants from anywhere in the world move to the United States. Our restrictive and economically devastating immigration regulations and laws should be refocused entirely on protecting the safety, security, and private property of Americans by excluding criminals, terrorists, and immigrants with deadly transmittable diseases. Instead of being a tool of economic protectionism, as our immigration restrictions currently are, they should be transformed in to a tool for economic growth.
