I... agree.

... well, okay, surely there's something to disagree with. Like this:

Quote:Nothing will help balance the wage inequality more than opening our borders to encourage those who are energetic and seeking a better opportunity to come here and become new Americans.

New migrants will help a lot of things. Inequality is not one of them. If you bring in the rich and educated, they contribute to raising the top end. If you bring in the poor and uneducated, they bring down the bottom. And it's not exactly like the US is swimming in spare middle class employment.

Practically everyone wins with increased migration. But some win more than others.
