Whoa! Wait a second!

Why only engineering field? Why not doctors? God knows we sorely need doctors in rural areas in this country. For that matter, why not people in other vocational fields?

In fact, why not give citizenships to all those who are 1) crime-free, 2) demonstrative of allegiance to the Constitution and 3) productive members of the society (find jobs and pay taxes)?

Afterall, for much of this country's early history, the standards were much looser, yet the country grew in size, power and prosperity from the labor of the immigrants.

On the flip side of the coin, we should apply the strictest penalties and censure for ILLEGAL immigration and really penalize any kind of illegal behavior.
