Despite Recommendations, US Allows Immigration from Terrorist-Sponsoring Countries

PEP, as per usual Good stuff.

What I do not understand is that the US and Canada both neighbouring countries prefer to go outside North America to secure immigrants for it's workforce? Both countries in North America have states or provinces where jobs are plentiful and in some states and provinces unemployment is high.  It would most likely be beneficial economically, healthy and culturally for our two countries to allow easy migration for employment on both sides of our borders to boost each others economy. Cost of Immigrating, Family Relocation, Education requirements, Job Training, Homesickness of workers would be minimal as language and culture is virtually the same and for the most part loyalty to each others countries.  Why the US and Canada need look outside the "Hood" when a viable workforce is down the street,next town or border?

A workforce outside of North America, just does not make economic sense for wither our citizens or countries, though for Politicians trying to gain International Brownie points it certainly does. 

When in crisis both countries immediately pull together in unison, versus these other countries where their loyalties are met with indifference and for the majority disdain, money in foreign aid is the only loyalty that seems to be the glue which keeps them from being enemies, and even then it doesn't seem to be enough of a "ties that bind" even from the immigrants who come to this country.  History has pretty much proven that when the US gives Aid and tries to form friendly alliances, eventually the Aid comes back as Bullets or worse. Recent past Friendly Aid projects, such as Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Pakistan, Africa, Afghanistan for example come to memory. Let's face there will never be loyalty from these countries.  So the US should first look for Mexican and Canadian loyalty in their back yard.

But then that is just my opinion, though a valid one.
