You see a bunch of Rhode scholars in there? These are not people from industrialized nations trying to immigrate and start businesses. These are highly unskilled individuals that offer nothing more than the ability to do manual labor

There is a such thing as good immigration and bad.

This would be an example of bad.

I would feel the same if thousands of Europe’s lower class decided to hop on ships and put up shop over here.

The poem people like you hold onto does not apply in 2018.

Holy frick. Why do I have to explain economics to people?

In a free market you exchange goods, services, and PEOPLE. If you restrict or hinder any of those components, you no longer have a free market and you're no longer operating efficiently. The market will dictate whether or not it needs doctors, engineers, or tomato pickers. I trust the free market to decide those levels over you.

The countries that restrict their immigration to engineers, doctors, etc, etc aren't the world's leading economic power. Why would you want to adopt those protectionist, socialist economic policies?
