It is a pattern repeated over and over (The Africans are a special case of course).

Ever single immigrant group was discriminated against and treated like dirt - evil America.

Every single immigrant group over came this discrimination in a generation or two and prospered - great America.

Is America evil or great? Yes.

The question of immigration policy for legal immigrants is a different matter from border control and national security. The numbers and characteristics of people allowed to legally immigrate doesn't have anything to do with a system of national ID cards, I don't think.

Thanks, Neo.

One economist in the 1930's thought that the Great Depression was caused by the great waves of immigration coming to a halt. I thought that was an interesting theory, but it didn't really explain how the Great Depression was a global phenomenon, and there was the problem with the timing - immigration stopped years before the Great Depression.

Still, when one looks at Japan, which is suffering in part due to a low birth rate, there seems to be something to his theory.
