True, but there's another side to this. Business, agriculture, and even economic reality needs an influx of new CONSUMERS in this country -- to prop up what has become an increasingly unsustainable socioeconomic order.
Consumers can be anywhere. There’s no need to import them and no particular advantage to having them inside the boundaries of the US. Businesses, especially large ones, can attract customers from all over the globe, which is how teenagers in Asia know all about fashion and music trends in the US, and why, Lord help us, we’re eating food and taking vitamins whose ingredients come from China. Recent large global consumption increases are being driven as much by the rise of middle classes in Asia satisfying pent-up consumer demand as by consumption in the US.
Outside of contruction, which is in a slump, there’s little economic incentive for businesses to import consumers, and a whole lot of incentive for businesses to import below-market-wage labor.
