You really need to separate the illegals and family/diversity based less skilled immigrants from the skilled ones, otherwise it makes it sound like it is somehow skilled immigrants and their employers' fault that we have all of the perils you mentioned. http://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/ois_lpr_... - 2012 immigration stats. Only 14% of legal immigration is skills based.

I don't see how asking for/having more skilled immigrants can possibly be linked to more crime, more unemployment or whatever. Unless you are speculating on what congress might do with immigration reform that will cause it or you want immigration to be completely stopped. (Not sure how that will work out given the illegals situation.)

I'd be happy to separate the various categories of immigrants, but here on Planet Earth those who have the power to implement policy--politicians, pundits, Silicon Valley billionaires--seem hellbent on implementing policies that will open this country up to millions upon tens of millions upon hundreds of millions of people desperate to get into any country that isn't the one they currently live in.
