The United States of America is a Human Magnet. People want to come here, even the ones that seem determined to kill us, come here and make their money and then try to do us harm. That, for another time and place.
Many years ago, I discovered The Wall Street Journal and was immediately impressed with their editorial page championing of immigration and how we as a nation have emerged as the strongest one on earth. It is not that we have a strong armed forces (we do) or that we are wealthy (we are) but because how we got here and what we are doing to remain strong and wealthy. The fundamentals are in our immigration policy, onr nature of being open to new ideas, people and a welcoming attitude to those that seek a better life.
I will try and provide links to some articles that I think of worth reading by everyone.
