I have another interpretation: bad laws are impossible to enforce in a just way. I have no idea why anyone should be required to have a special visa to work in the US. Because we are selfish?

If the US didn't have immigration requirements, half the world would move there, causing the society and infrastructure to collapse? I can't see how unrestricted immigration benefits the US at all (I'm not a US citizen).
- alexeisadeski3 13y agoImmigration wasn't restricted until the 20th century (in any meaningful way), and the US didn't seem to suffer too bad.
- MichaelGG 13y agoI'd wager that A: the disparity between countries is larger and more well-known now, and B: the ease of physically travelling to the US is far easier now.
- alexeisadeski3 13y agoAnd I'd wager that the cost of living is higher now, relative to the other countries.
- wpietri 13y agoThe Model T started production in 1908 and the first commerical airline flight was in 1914. The state of the art for sea transportation around then was the Titantic, which sank in 1912. So maybe that had something to do with it.
- wpietri 13y agoPerhaps you should try getting some idea, then. It's not like there hasn't been a ton written on this.
