Immigration Reform

To start out blogging I want to get some heavy subjects off my mind so I am going to write out my ideas on Immigration reform.

A fundamental belief of mine is that to improve the condition of poor peoples lives around the world we have got to destroy the over consuming lifestyle of the average American.  There may be a productive way of going about this using immigration reform.  I would suggest changing the policy to let in all displaced refugees from around the world.  Let us welcome refugees from Sudan, Iraq, Palestine, Haiti, wherever there are refugees to come to the USA.

From a conventional economic perspective this would be a disaster, but I see a different potential.  The best characteristics of America come from the diversity of population from the variety of immigrants (as well as immigrants brought forcefully by slavery.)  An influx of new immigrants could really stir things up, create new ideas and new culture the would spur further growth.

Also it's not like we have a problem of not having enough in this country.  An immediate circumstance before the recent crisis was too many houses and too much money on wall street.  Bringing in immigrants we could rise up to the challenge to feed, house, and educate everyone and in doing so could develop new revolutionary manners of economic organization.

Who is with me to forget the xenophobic idiots on TV and in the government that cannot stand immigrants from Mexico, and instead invite immigrants and refugees into this country to increase diversity and generate new ideas.
