This is the crucial part. We need educated people who are working and earning money. Their collective earning power is what makes an economy work. Our big ass problem is that now the Boomers are in the twilight of their working years, how are we going to support them when there are more non-earners than working earners? We need immigrants, but the kind who contribute to the economy, rather than the other way around. If we take too many immigrants who plan to simply game the system, then we're going to destroy our economy and just implode under the weight of all of this glorious charity that some people think 'government' is.
