Very weak logic, Davo. The only thing proven by the large crowds immigrating to America is that there are lots of poor people in other places, and those people feel (correctly) they would be better off here.


Why wouldn't they go where the standard of living is better, like Australia and Japan?




Ever try getting a residency visa for Japan or Australia? They don't hand them out like confetti, like we do. Generally speaking, those countries' immigration policies are not dominated by industry, but by the best interests of their citizens.
