Currently, there is much debate about the US legal immigration system. Respondents were given a a number of options to evaluate for changing the US system for legal immigration.

The US system for legal immigration provides selected foreigners with the right to reside in the United States on a permanent basis by providing them with what is commonly known as a “green card.” This also gives them the right to work and the obligation to pay taxes.

Some people argue that the number of legal immigrants to the US should be reduced, others say the number should be increased. There are also proposals for changing the way that immigrants are selected.
