  Not really, land and culture is not fungible. Having say a minimally corrupt judicial system is the kind of thing you risk with unlimited migration. I also don't believe in totally free markets. A flat 10% import terrif on ALL goods and services promotes home grown capital intensive industry where appropriate. Sparking long term growth, while allowing counties to import and export goods where appropriate.

    Yes, the common culture is a country's most precious possession. But H-1B immigrants on the whole are supportive, not corrosive to American culture. They work hard and value education. Any native-born American (like myself) who has known second-generation Chinese- or Indian-Americans has seen what good citizens on the whole they are and would be happy to have them as neighbors.

  The back story of every person who consistently makes more than $200k in the private sector. It's just hippocracy. It's always disgusted me. I see it in every profession--from the financial to medicine, and the 501C3's. It's gotten worse since going to church is seen as a crime in certain parts of the country. I have never met a wealthy family that isn't full of it.
