Anti Open Borders: Why America needs a sensible immigration policy today.
The case for sensible immigration.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
1. Sensible immigration is just & right.
Sensible immigration policy continues America as a beacon of liberty & a magnet of freedom. A just & righteous cause.
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
Emma Lazarus,
The New Colossus
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
2. Smart immigration; smart innovation; smart business.
Immigrants have developed & managed cutting edge innovation in every sector.
Present at the American Technology Council Roundtable
were three first generation Indian immigrants who run:
Microsoft: Satya Nadella
Mastercard: Ajay Banga
Adobe: Shantanu Narayen

No, not a risk.
@stevescoins
There is an immigration policy risk baked in to the entire innovation superstructure that Silicon Valley is built on.
Inspite of a dumb immigration policy, America imported:
• Steve Jobs, Abdulfattah John Jandali, biological father, Syrian. American foster father. Apple
• Elon Musk, South Africa via Canada, Tesla/SpaceX, invited to, but did not attend Trump's meeting.
• Sergey Brin, Russia, Soviet Union, Google, Alphabet
• Sundar Pichai, India, Google CEO
• Parisa Tabriz, Iran via Poland, Security Princess, Google
• Alexis Ohanian, second generation, Reddit
• Jeff Bezos, Cuban father, Amazon, at Trump's meeting.
• Jerry Wang, Taiwan, Yahoo!
• Pierre Omidyar, Iran via France, eBay
• Safra Ada Catz, Israel, Oracle, at Trump's meeting.
What would happen with a smart immigration policy?
While Open Borders, Open Society is preparatory to the destruction of America as a nation state, the energy that immigrants have brought to US tech remains unquestioned.
Trump is anyway recruiting more #DeepState operatives to his side.
Will Cupertino & Menlo Park be next?
Benevolent universities give the best & the brightest especially from the Third World, scholarships, aid & assistantships. Except for the Chinese, the rest stay behind to build America.
Peter Thiel & Jared Kushner will Trump Steve Bannon.
Trump is a businessman. Not an ideologue.
While his philosophy is, rightly, in my understanding, cast in stone; his means to the end are not. He will do what helps business do more business to facilitate generating more jobs.
Even for Silicon Valley.
