I keep saying this and I'm honestly surprised that some of the educated sociopaths in the Republican party haven't pushed back. But maybe they can't get anybody elected without feeding the hate.
The point is: Even if you remove all morality and you do not care one bit about the lived experience of other human beings who also only get to live once, it is STILL stupid to be ejecting people from the country. Our economy is built on infinite growth, and you cannot grow your portfolio of companies and/or stocks without a supply of laborers to underpay.
Good on us for driving away both ends of the spectrum -- the cheap laborers AND the Ph.D academics!
edit: I forgot to mention that this is happening in the context of the population of the entire developed world beginning to level off and even decline. I feel like one of the big social ills of the next generation could be developing nations still getting the shaft on the global stage as all the rich countries court their best workers.
If you look at the list & map here, you can see that the only continent still adding to the world population is Africa.
