The point system is a way of telling who can get into the country and who can't. Like if you have a child or something you get a certain amount of points, if you can speak English you get a certain amount of points, etc. I don't know exactly how it works but point systems never work so this one won't either, especially when it comes to immigration.
How to solve our immigration problem.... I am probably going to take fire from this but I the immigration rush is a direct result of capitalism and imperialism. The US goes to countries installs a system which keeps the people in that country poor and the American companies and puppet regimes of that country keep the profit.
Now, the immigration debate is usually split into two parts. One side wants to kick them out and one side wants to let them in. Basically the pro and con from each side are that immigrants are taking our jobs, creating a population explosion, and robbing people of their tax money put kicking them out is unrealistic, unethical, and very expensive while the other sides is that they help us with economy by taking undesirable, low paying jobs, we are a nation of immigrant so it is hypocritical to kick them out, and they do pay taxes while they are overrunning our country etc.
To get to the point neither side is good and while finding a balance between the two will help, it won't solve anything. Those two solutions are just solving the result of the problem while doing nothing to solve the initial problem.
The initial problem is that they have very tough lives in Mexico and Central and South America and they want to live a better life in America. We only accept a very few amount of people in and many can't wait that long since the waiting lists is years long.
Instead of stopping immigration we should focus on what causes these people to immigrate to America and solve that. Allowing all the immigrants in America will only encourage more to come and banning them from coming will drastically hurt relations and bottle the problem up to a revolution status similar to Iran's Islamic Revolution.
Neither of these is desirable so of course the best solution is to solve the problem at its start. The way to solve this is to help Mexico and the rest of the Americas to get on their feet and support their economy instead of taking advantage of them. This will bring them up to us instead of us pushing them down to raise our level.
