Anyone whoi usually reads his materials knows this. And low-skilled immigration at the current rate is a problem. He doesn't count high-skilled immigrants in his study because they are not the root of the problem. <br><br>Nobody here is denying that high skilled immigrants are a net gain, not even Rubenstein. But again, that is not who he has his bone with.KrisTue, 03 Jun 2008 13:33:48 -0000http://www.openmarket.org/2008/05/14/immigrantion-is-good-for-the-economy-2-inventions/#comment-2125226Jcp, the Rubenstein study I was commenting on concerned ALL immigration, not just illegal immigration. Before commenting, please read the post.Alex NowrastehMon, 19 May 2008 15:51:52 -0000http://www.openmarket.org/2008/05/14/immigrantion-is-good-for-the-economy-2-inventions/#comment-2125225This post is so biased I have chosen to skip any further posts by Mr. Nowrasteh. Keep conflating "immigration" and "illegal immigration" all you want as I no longer read your posts. <br><br>I will ask this: How many patents are issued to illegal immigrants and amnestied illegal immigrants and their relatives? How many SSI disability payments? How many chapter 8 housing slots? How many state aided medical dollars? How many hours of court and police time? how many jail cells?jcpSun, 18 May 2008 16:31:54 -0000http://www.openmarket.org/2008/05/14/immigrantion-is-good-for-the-economy-2-inventions/#comment-2125224Imagine how much more immigrants might contribute if we stopped treating them like a scourge on society and instead invited them to become full-fledged participants.Reach UpwardThu, 15 May 2008 20:52:41 -0000
