No. Every time I see this sentiment, all I hear is that people genuinely think a nation is just an amorphous blob of biological entities all interchangeably conducting “economic activity”. If there aren’t enough people here who can do the work, or there are but they don’t want to because of pay or something else, we should address those actual problems. The other thing that I attach to sentiments like yours is that higher education in the United States is a completely fraudulent industry. It utterly fails at educating and preparing its own people for the kinds of jobs we need done in the 21st century, and yet the solution somehow is to bring other people in to attend those same schools and universities. The United States is not just an economic zone that functions as a means to an end. Imagining that turning it into one is actually good is a deeply misguided approach to solving a very real problem.
