Uh, would be so awful. The burden would always fall upon us when other countries had financial crises. No way, Jose, heh heh

It was the collapse of the Ponzi scheme which is the US 'economy' which nearly brought the whole world down - what the fuck are you talking about?

I'm pretty skeptical that immigration of any sort is necessarily a plus for a country. I think more has to be done to prevent illegals coming in and the ones that are already here either be force assimilated or deported. The U.S. lets in a million legal immigrants a year. I'm sure many of those are educated but that is still a million more people that need jobs and services.

Unfortunately most people who support a harsher immigration policy have really colorful views on races and don't give a shit what happens to American citizens after we get rid of the illegals and slow down immigration. They are loud and operate with bad faith.

In the case of the USA, it was indeed downright negative for the native population, which has been severely decimated, force-assimilated or shoved into reservations.

the US's technological ascendancy was guaranteed by encouraging immigrants into your country. especially of the ex-regime, war-criminal type.

most of your top grad schools today are not populated by good little all american heroes. your universities (and their wealth) draw intellectual talent from around the globe. a lot of the nobel prizes associated with 'elite' american institutions were earned by... immigrants.

He has a point. The colonial nations (North and South America, Australia, South Africa) don't have the moral authority to be isolationist and anti-immigration.

I try to make sure my political views are logically consistent and haven't found a way to make that fact jive with my belief that a state's only responsibility is to its citizens.

It depends, immigration may benefit a nation, it won't necessarily benefit the indigenous population, whether they're first wave or tenth wave immigrants, the next wave is invariably bad.

I love the idea.  The US doesnt need boundries.
