Our "family class" immigration policy is a disaster. We may admit one needed immigrant, who is followed by several "expensive" relatives. The family class was brought in to "buy" votes of existing voters, it is time to recognize this, and admit each immigrant and immediate family(children and spouse) on their own merits. Today, travel and the internet allow families to keep in touch, there is no need to give priority to family members, it has become an expense we can no longer afford.
