Sure.... you can tell yourself that a highly educated applicant like Tibs and a poor peasant farmer fleeing gang-violence in Guatemala have an equal chance.
All they have to do is follow the process.
Here it is.

Got a pencil?
So let me ask you again: what do you propose?
I am in favor of simplifying the process of immigration. I am also in favor of - GASP - amnesty for those already here. I'm also in favor of abolishing the H-1B Visa program.
What do you think that fuckhead Drumpf would think of that?
And while we are on the subject, a handful of states - usually those run by redneck asswipes - have tried their own solutions. Here's an example of how well it worked out.

Quote:Alabama Illegal Immigrant Crackdown Destroys Farm Business
Quote:On Sunday, the Associated Press reported worker shortages have prompted some Alabama farmers who grow labor-intensive produce to plant less, rather than have crops rot in the fields again this year. Last fall Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley signed a tough law combating illegal immigration, which prompted undocumented workers to flee the state. Few locals will perform the grueling work of picking crops, and farmers stuck in a agricultural system built on illegal labor are struggling to find replacements before their produce rots.
Alabama’s situation is not unique. Georgia passed a similar immigration law in 2011. When undocumented workers fled, farmers lost around 40% of their workers and $140 million worth of blueberries, melons, onions, and other crops due to labor shortages. This year Georgia farmers again fear they will be short on workers to pick the crops, and many have scaled back production or stopped planting altogether.
C/L, and I say this in all sincerity, never forget that the Law of Unintended Consequences is a cast-iron bitch.
