IMMIGRATION

Immigration is America’s comparative advantage.

In the philosophy of Free Trade, America’s ability to
attract adventuresome, hard-working people from
all parts of the world could and should be such a
remarkable resource that we, as a country, need to
re-embrace this vision that once defined us so many
years ago.

Those “huddled masses, yearning to breathe free”
are different from the huddled masses who choose to
stay where they are, in their own country.

This country created itself through the regenerative
power of immigration; that immigrants, having severed
ties with their old country and old ways of doing things,
might work for, and become inspired by, a new vision,
that of the Future, for themselves, certainly, but more so
for their children.

Unlike the Tea Partiers, who are confounded by fear, and
ignorance of what can be accomplished by creative people
who believe in an idea of an America founded on
opportunity, immigrants aren’t afraid of too much
national debt. They arrive here with an unbounded optimism
in their ability to survive and prosper. They don’t care how
far down on the ladder of success they start. They only
ask for the right to grasp at the first rung.

People who are afraid of other people who choose to work
harder are right to be afraid.

Hard work is patriotic.

Tea Partiers consider themselves privileged, but economic
security is available ony to those who continue to work for it.


Work Hard.
