GV, I'd say the question of immigration is very on-topic, considering that I work with a lot of 1st-generation immigrants. Let's not forget that Andy Grove is also a 1st-generation immigrant.

More OT: Legal immigration is needed but illegal one is not. Illegal Immigrants put a strain on the country's resources without contributing anything. Most of them get work in the "shadow" economy where everything is done in cash so the government sees not tax revenue from it. That cash in turn may be funneled out of the country. The only people who benefit from illegal immigration are their employers who receive cheap labor without providing all the benefits they would otherwise have to provide to a citizen or legal immigrant.

<Closing our borders to immigrants, illegal or legal, will do absolutely nothing to stop terrorism.

It will, however, kill our economy.>

To help the economy we should neither close nor open the borders indiscriminately. We should test the applicants for IQ just like we test them for AIDS and keep the stupid ones out.

However, that would be politically incorrect and insensitive because IQ tests are racist, right?
