Is there a Solution for Immigration?

1.

Question Title

* 1. How many immigrants a year, allowed to come legally, would most benefit citizens by boosting our economy, creating jobs, and paying down our deficit, without taking jobs from citizens? (1st of 10 questions)

A. None. (Every job taken by an immigrant must be taken from a citizen.)

B. 1,000,000. (This is roughly how many we allow to come legally now. )

D. 5,000,000. (The number of jobs taken by new workers is about the same number of jobs, on average, that they create by purchasing the services of others. In all lands, at all times, the unemployment rate has not been affected by the size of the population but by wars, disasters, and the degree of freedom.)

E. As many as are willing to work, stay off welfare, learn English, learn how Freedom works, do nothing which would be a crime if a citizen did it, and who don't have criminal or terrorist histories. (The larger a population of free, secure citizens, the larger their "brain pool" capable of maintaining old technologies and developing new. Thus, the more advanced their technology, the more comfortable their lives, the better they can develop new food and energy sources, and the better equipped they are to defend themselves against enemies.)

Question Title

* 2. The number of immigrants allowed to come each year should be determined by:

A. The number of jobs which citizens won't take, which should be calculated each year by a team of economists.

B. A percentage of our population, to ensure that America's population does not become unsustainable.

C. The number that will benefit our economy and pay down our deficit without taking jobs from citizens, which should be calculated by Department of Labor bureaucrats.

D. A compromise between politicians dictated by "political reality" but unrelated to economics, science, facts, or reality.

E. The number of peace loving, hard working people who want to come.

Question Title

* 3. Who should immigration policy be designed to benefit? (This is a religious question.)

1. Citizens, not immigrants. (That is even what immigrants want, once they become citizens.)

2. Immigrants. (Leviticus 19:33-34 tells us to love the immigrant as ourselves, and treat him as ourselves as we voters create our immigration laws.)

3. The interests of citizens should be balanced against the opposing interests of immigrants.

4. Citizens and immigrants both: what is best for citizens, is also best for immigrants. (Or at least that is what Luke 6:38 says, that as we give, so shall we receive.)
