| ▲ | breadwinner 4 days ago | parent [-] | | No, Chinese will stay home instead of immigrating to the US. China draws mainly on the talents of the best of its billion+ population. But America has had its pick of the best of the world's 8 billion people. If people stop immigrating to the US, then we will surely fall behind technologically, economically and militarily, and soon we will be making t-shirts for Chinese for $5 an hour. | | |
