Dear Editor:
I am writing this letter to address my strongest disagreement your recent Editor's Comments. Not only does such thought offend the fundamental principle and backbone of this nation, "family unification," it will lead to a mechanism to control immigration of certain races and ethnic groups. The concept may look on the surface legitimate, but it can lead to the dangerous consequences of the control of immigration of certain racial and ethnic groups that form the majority of family immigration, to wit recent immigrants. Extremists can use this concept as the disguised ethnic cleansing or ethnic balancing policy. I urge the authors to analyze the ethnic and racial implication of their theories. They should remember that certain parts of the world are currently unable to send family-based immigrants to this nation because they do not have eligible relatives of the US citizens or LPRs because they ceased to sending massive immigrants to this country a century past. I strongly believe that the authors' intent of writing this article is academically admirable but needs reexamination.
