That's funny, all of the immigrants that have come into New York City over the last 30 years, have brought economic vibrancy to the city, rather than subplanting existing jobs. So many of these people from Costa Rica, Jamaica, Nigeria, Russia, and well over a hundred other nations, have brought an entrepreneurial spirit that has created many new businesses. Including businesses that deal in international trade.
The economic wealth of a nation is roughly equal to the quantity of its people times the quality (economic) of its people. Thats why nations with little natural resources, like Japan, are wealthy. I say, bring these people in. We are jockeying for position on the international stage of the future, and we need all of the people that we can get. Especially from those from areas where we have not had a strong trading relationship. That ties into the color thing, a little bit anyway. We need people from Sub-Saharan Africa, and from Central Asia, and South Asia, and so on.
Whether you realize it or not, the Russian immigrants in the US have helped to foster a level of trade, between the US and Russia, that is helping both nations to move past the Cold War. The Nigerian immigrants offer the best chance, from a US perspective, to help integrate Nigeria into a mutually beneficial international trade relationship.
The US is so wondeful because, more than any other nation, our culture is adaptive. This gives us a real economic advantage, and its why the current internationmal hegemonic structure is centered around the US (i.e. the TriLateral Commission.)
We need more imigrants, and from a more diverse array of nations. If we are too "white" and if we have too few people, America will beging to fall behind others.
