<People need to move as free as possible. That would shake the locals out of the special narrow interests. Bring new blood. New ideas. They will pay taxes to replenish old locals pensions' funds. Either they go there, or the capital and jobs come to them out here. > ElM, I'm a Japanese kind of guy. I quite like my special narrow interests, uncrowded streets, relatively low crime [though it's a horror story compared with how good it was 30 years ago before the machete mob moved in under absurd immigration policies]. I like the capital and jobs to go to the people living where they are now. I can click my mouse and deliver capital to India via QUALCOMM, who can form a joint venture in China, which will be turbo-charged by the software engineers in Bangalore. Then we are all happy. I get my capitalist profits, Indians and Chinese get jobs and CDMA2000 cyberphones and I get cheap CDMA2000 cyberphones Made in China. That process has already been established and production is under way. It's a Win-Win-Winn arrangement. Mqurice PS: Trading citizenship under the current arrangements is a shambles. Fraud is endemic. Bureaucracy suffocating. Queues and frustration, misrepresentation and misunderstandings are major problems. There is no property right conferred, just the right to collectivist serfdom in a new country.
