America will be fine, we're an immigrant nation. Sure, a large influx is a terrible idea, but to shut off immigrants is protectionism and hurts in the long run.
- yummyfajitas 18y agoI don't recall advocating protectionism or shutting off immigration. I favor it, and I said so in my previous comment. I just think we need to actively manage it to avoid unpleasant side effects. I want immigration policies which promote this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anousheh_Ansari http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anousheh_Ansari I want the policies also to discourage this: http://www.laweekly.com/2006-07-27/news/they-wanted-all-blacks-out/ http://www.laweekly.com/2006-07-27/news/they-wanted-all-blac... Similarly (on a topic which avoids knee-jerk responses), I support increased bike usage, while I oppose bike use on sidewalks.
