Tonchi then moved on to describe what also happened to Miami after the Marianna boat lift. For a while, the entire economy of Miami depressed as its absorbed mass numbers of Cuba refugees. Incomes dropped. Crime increased. Government services became burdened. And then Miami because prosperous.

Appreciate what an immigrant really is. It is a resource. How good a resource? All depends upon how much the host country wants to welcome that resource.

History has demonstrated that a nation's most productive people are its third generation immigrants. But if those future resources of a country become so frustrated as to even riot, well, the country better first look at itself.

I will sometimes sit in a coffee shop working on, for example, a Maxwell Equation or something as complex looking. What has repeatedly occurred, it is often a waiter or bus boy - an immigrant - who will ask questions - who actually has some education in this advanced math. American eyes too often will call math hard. You tell me who still has an interest in learning? Who has the curiosity that defined the patriotic America? It only demonstrates again why immigrants are always the future of long term growth and prosperity. Tonchi only demonstrates that what happened in Miami also is happening in CA.
