		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;So perhaps we could increase immigration from the top 10 and decrease immigration from Somalia.&lt;/i&gt;

Perhaps we don&#039;t even need this.  I&#039;ve suggested we could at least keep out the 9/11 hijackers; the other side blubbers that you can&#039;t argue from extreme examples.  But then they argue from the extreme example of billionaires, and want to let in all the Somalis they can in hopes of catching a billionaire, &quot;for the GDP, PBUI.&quot;

__________________________________________

So does this mass immigration go on forever, or do our current mass immigraters eventually gain the political power to stop the flow and have a country to themselves?  We appear to be in brothel economics, where fresh blood is always needed; the old, tired natives are pushed off into a chasm somewhere to make room for the new and fresh.

__________________________________________


&lt;i&gt;If immigrants are so talented why don’t they fix their home countries?&lt;/i&gt;

This.  I&#039;ll bring it up, and the consiglieres say, &quot;well, they don&#039;t have the political system to thrive and make the money to which they are entitled by dint of their awesome abilities.&quot;

So politics trumps economics, or maybe economics doesn&#039;t really work; good to know.  And good to know we are importing people who couldn&#039;t see this in their home country; now we are handing over a chunk of the keys in hopes they&#039;ll get it right this time.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, immigrants start successful businesses more than non-immigrants. Are we talking all immigrants, legal immigrants only, or illegal immigrants only?

In the case of illegal immigrants, it might be more interesting to count 2nd generation, legal, offspring.

Hmmm. Maybe a 2nd gen comparison would be better to do than the self-selected, odd-ball, 1st generation.

And, historically, it would probably be best to count those in the &quot;Great Migration&quot; as legal immigrants.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;“…319 of 582, or 55 percent, of America’s privately-held startups valued at $1 billion or more…”&lt;/i&gt;

So there are 319 immigrants worth letting into the country.  Good to know.  Now our academics can help us keep out the other millions and millions.


&lt;i&gt;“…Musk’s SpaceX…Gopuff, a food delivery service…Stripe, a payment platform…Instacart, a grocery delivery service…”&lt;/i&gt;

How about drug cartels?  Delivering value the natives just can&#039;t quite equal.

Looks like stuff that drafts off infrastructure laid down over the years by non-immigrants.  We&#039;re far better off doing without such business; or paying a little bit more for a native to do such value transference; than to suffer the ethnic; racial, and political roiling of our current mass immigration.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, if these people are so wonderful, special, and economically productive, we&#039;re damaging their home countries by taking them, and we should stop this act of economic imperialism immediately. 

Of course, we all know that, if Mexican and Central American immigrants start voting Republican, the border will be slammed shut so fast it will make your head spin, and will feature a fifty-foot wall with razor wire and automatic machine guns, despite any businesses these people might start. No one is fooled by this garbage anymore.]]></description>

I love the &#039;Americans suck, immigrants are wonderful&#039; attitude of the article.

If immigrants are so talented why don&#039;t they fix their home countries? Govt incentives are a major influencer for immigrants. As to Musk, one of the first things addressed while Tesla was forming was what were the tax incentives. I dare say take away tax incentives and the business environment across the board would change drastically.]]></description>
