US immigration policy is particularly inept. As a citizen, I had only the vaguest sense that this was so, but having started a company with two immigrants, the depths of the stupidity have become manifestly clear.

Personally, I'm largely in favor of the free migration of labor, but regardless of one's beliefs w/r/t immigration -- and there are principled arguments for all sorts of positions on this issue, I feel -- nobody can defend the pig's breakfast that we currently have. And nobody's talking about fixing it, either -- all the public conversation about immigration is about Mexico, which is surely important, but hardly the only thing what needs fixing.
