Would we be better off with more "Open" immigration?
Should the United states as a rule push for more closed borders where people cant come in to find work? Or, are we better off with an open system where by people can enter the country and find a job.

Thanks for this suggestion. I moved this off the trade and prosperity board as it's a bit outside the scope of what we'd cover there.

Open borders, where qualified and sane people can come and contribute to the economy. Politicans always seem to forget that those who live and work in this country legally contribute vastly to the economy by paying taxes, purchasing home, cars and many other things. Keep legal migration easy and allow people to enter the country on an objective education and character merit basis. Currently the U.S is totally doing it wrong by only debating about illegal immigration, and doing nothing about legal migration, which is also currently so subjective and biased. Any place that has closed doors will only live in an economic vacuum.
