I think their point is to shake up the issue a bit: One of their main themes is that a liberal immigration policy isn’t compassionate, but causes hardship in both countries, the emigrated-from country, and the immigrated-to country. As long as people believe immigration in general is a good thing, they remained inclined to allow some bad (illegal) immigration along with some good immigration; People figure, “Sure, it’s wrong, but it’s good for the economy.”

Numbers counters this by pointing out the ways that immigration is bad for America’s economy, and stifles development oversees. And that’s not their conclusion alone: they use the Barbara Jordan Commission, authorized by the Clinton White House, and the Center for Immigration Studies.

It is a good point but, I think, lost on most people.

We had at least one chucklehead in the U.S. Senate saying we should award a green card with every U.S. college diploma awarded to a foreigner.

Hello?

1. What about U.S. kids who earned the same degree and now have the value of that degree devaluated by a biggers supply of competitors?
   
2. What about foreign governments or other agencies who invested in their young person's education with the expectation that they would use it to help advance their home country?

The idea that any immigration is a good thing is stupid. The idea that any immigration is a bad thing is equally stupid.
