tw, so what you are saying is that if, IF,there was an influx of 350,000,000 immigrants into America over 5 years this would be a good thing. Yes I am asking seriously. Since there was no link to your Economist article, I am questioning where the line is drawn. Where do the laws of diminishing return come into play here? How many is too many? Is there such a number? Logic and common sense says that at some point a MASSIVE influx would overwhelm a system not designed for that many people. Food, housing, waste removal, education, employment.... all of these things cannot happen immediately, as you an engineer certainly knows. Please address these issues. I , for one, am very open on immigration.
