The author is from the liberal Brookings Institution and favors a much more "progressive" immigration policy than most of us do, but he's right about the irresponsible way that the left argues immigration. There is no right to immigrate.

As long as it is not the end of the Republic I think we’ll be okay.

Ann Coulter has it right. Immigration is the only existential issue now. America as founded will disappear without people who believe in Western Civilization. Whites of European heritage have these ideals embedded in their culture. When they disappear, America disappears.

We want our Representative Republic back.

One can easily stuff $1 billion into a rich man’s stock brokerage account.

However, humans beings need housing, water and roads to get to work.

One can’t stuff one billion people into New York City.

In the 1940’s, Queens in New York City was half developed.

Nowadays, Long Island is full. Children move away simply because housing is priced out of reach.

In the 1960’s, California had a housing price premium of about 25%.

Nowadays, California has a housing price premium of over 100%.

Coastal areas have a better climate. That’s where the job creators prefer to live and create good jobs.

One might argue that we could build tall buildings as in Hong Kong, but that doesn’t solve the critical road overcrowding problem, just makes it worse.

It takes more than a good education to get a good job. It takes a housing unit to live and sleep in and roads to the office or hospital where the good job is.

This is not a complex subject.

Economically, there is nothing going on in the USA, Switzerland, or Hong Kong that cannot be replicated in EVERY country in the world.

My advice to people who want to emigrate to the USA...

Stay home.

Fix your country.

Start today.

If President Trump ACCEPTS 40 million White South Africans as refugees (who will vote Republican for the next 50 years) THE DAMN DEMOCRATS WILL LOSE THEIR 'BLINDNESS' ON THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE.
