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 but more than the ability to do manual labor
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?

Are there ANY legal restrictions on "goods" and "services" that can be offered? Must those "goods" and "services" be documented? Say, for tax purposes or for legal tracking. Are the foods inspected? Are there laws about "services" and restrictions (licenses, prostitution, etc)?
So, the "people" must have ZERO documentation....?
silliness

Unless I'm not understanding the point you're trying to make, your view makes no actual sense. The random hoards of people flooding in are not the product of a free market "pick list"..."I need 3 tomato pickers, 2 doctors and an engineer..can you deliver them in a eco-friendly package?" The leftovers are composed of hoards of needy people who will do whatever they need to do survive. Thats fine for the jungle, but most don't care to have jungle types forced down their lives.

This assumes the complete lack of a welfare state.
People will come here not because the market dictates it. They'll come here because the welfare state dictates it.
