> the push to de emphasize immigration is pretty much all downsides for the US, for little to no return, other than "we stuck it to them!" I disagree with you there. This push is really showing people how little these multinational corporations care for them. The economy has been growing, but instead of passing that growth down to its employees, it's keeping wages down or shipping jobs overseas. If we shift gears as a country and limit outsourcing and immigration, there will be a period of time when large companies leave ship, but chances are good that the lower and middle classes would finally start seeing their wages go up.
