Should we limit immigration? With the economic downturn it doesn’t
seem logical to still work on reuniting families or increasing diversity. Can
we perhaps take a break while the country recovers?
As I examine my current bias right now, I wonder if it easy
for me to agree on limited immigration just because I myself is in the country
right now. I do believe on the idea of carrying capacity of all systems and Malthusian
catastrophe. The United States can be a generous nation that welcomes that
tired and weary of the world but there has to be some limit for this
generosity. In my ever so practical mind, the effort to help a few thousands
can eventually jeopardize the welfare of the rest if the system collapses.
"Give
me your tired, your poor,
Your
huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The
wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send
these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I
lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Does
this still apply?
