LOL yeah maybe, and the little I've looked into older immigration policy, apparently prior to 1973 people used to just cross the border and get jobs pretty regularly. I'll throw a link up to the podcast I heard it addressed in when I can find it.

But the big charge against immigration is that it results in "brain drain" in many countries. India generally feels like talented citizens generally leave for the US to start businesses. It's not a front-line platform-plank issue, but immigration to the US can be seen as a monopoly on talent.
