Pretty interesting article in the NYT recently- arguing for allowing more open immigration from places like India and China to allow the talented knowledgeable people there to come here and buy up all the crappy houses (half kidding), work hard and eventually create more jobs in the process (not kidding).
Thought it sounded good, and began thinking about why it would never happen: these new immigrants don't vote! The unemployed American workers do, so the politicians who just wanted to get re-elected, will build up programs to put these unemployed Americans t0 work and protect their job security by not allowing talented people to come in. Not quite how this country was formed or made great....hopefully I'm wrong, but I bet it'll be somewhere in the middle.
