Here is a data-point for anti-immigrant populists to consider. The Wall Street Journal reported on 2/14 that: last year China passed Japan and became the second largest economy in the world. According to the article "China's rise shows that population now counts as much as productivity in determining economic power." If the USA is going to compete in the the world with giants like China and India we have to grow and immigration is the surest way to do it. We could spend half of the money we now spend on fences and guards, teaching English and American values to new immigrants. The goal a nation of five hundred million hard working, liberty loving people in thirty years.
