I'm willing to wager against this: normally people have a negative reaction to the idea that foreigners should be second-rate citizens with higher taxation systems, less rights and less benefits, but thats exactly the system you have now + uncertainty. I think a deal where explicitly foreigners can't get any state benefit and have a special foreign tax in exchange of freer immigration would be welcome by all citizens, regardless of rhetoric.

If programming became a job as menial as washing dishes in a kitchen, why would you want americans to do it.
