> This country built itself on the backs of imported talent No we didn't. We built our country on the exploitation of poor european factory workers, chinese "slave" labor and african slaves. This country wasn't built on "talent". It was built on exploitation of CHEAP or free labor. > there's no valid reason for that to stop now. We stopped it many times in history to protect AMERICANS. Go read about immigration history rather than propaganda we are forcefed. European immigration was stalled to protect american labor. Chinese immigration was stopped to protect american labor. And if you think about it, even american slavery was stopped to protect american labor. Immigration wasn't all great. Throughout US history, it led to lots of turmoil, displacement and heartache. Nothing is all great or all evil like people with agenda like to believe. There are pros and cons to everything. The skewed "pro-immigration" policy the past 50 years has gutted american labor and american society. We need a more rational policy. And the fact that america/american government shouldn't favor AMERICANS over immigrants is pure rubbish. It's neoliberal fantasy. As a nation we have gone too "left". We need to correct our trajectory lest america fall off the tracks entirely.
