What's not to love

It's very often that a policy or social view is so transperantly good for economic growth and moral conscience but liberal immigration polices managing to do both. All of this manages to ignore the balance of power gains from allowing a speaker of Egyptian arabic or say Albert Einstein into our country. Quality of life arguments against immigration seem to be catalyzed by purely xenophobic hatred for outsiders rather than sound economic argument. It may be true that These people would uncomfortable living with so called foreigners in Queens or Dearborn. I don't know why one should care much about their opinion, especially when its hurts our country in the long run. these people also seem to forget that their ancestors likely came here on boat a few thousand years after the original inhabitants of North America did anyways. They always seem to draw the line of when immigration became unacceptable to shortly after their own family arrived. How convenient.
