There would be a difference in opinion on managing any people import between a wall st banker and a social policy progressive.
The point being that in dealing with social issues there are more unintended consequences than dealing with it as an economic model.
If the imports could be tailored to enhancing US world wide economic competition it would be a home run imo. If consumer spending is low the US could import 100,000 millionaires for a few yrs, etc.
meanwhile.. i don't think anything will happen till after the election and maybe not even till a new President.
I don't know how to take the current illegal's posturing except that Germany encouraged a separate Turkish culture to develop inside over a span of around 20yrs. Many second generation Turks don't even speak German and their families don't want them to. I think they're about 10% of Germany's population, maybe more? It's a huge social and legal problem as they want to keep old school non-sophisticated culture. For example a 50yr old Turkish German citizen can import a 12yr old bride from Turkey right now
afaik.
