Should States determine their own immigration needs?

BOX SCORE: Local TAP Legal Immigration

Puzzle Summary:

TAP allows States to Terminate (close the tap), Accelerate (tap world markets), or Pause (tap the brakes) on Local Legal Immigration. Counties will funnel immigration requests up to the State. State politics will decide what numbers to approve.

There is controversy around immigrant crime rates but legal immigration crime rates appear actually lower than US citizens'. States will work in two-year requests in off-election years to de-politicize immigration. Immigrants must stay in their host State or reciprocating State until reaching full citizenship.

ONE PARROT openly thinks national immigration policy has stopped serving our needs. THE OTHER PARROT closes with immigration should stay in the hands of the federal government.

Both Parrots make their good points over and over and over again. What did our nonpartisan scoring system say?
