Immigrants as Job Creators

This article looks at immigrants as job creators.

I'll give you another reason that fits both immigrants and refugees: survival of the fittest.  These are people who left a marginally okay to downright dangerous situation in search of better opportunities elsewhere.  Earth has a LOT of displaced people, voluntary and involuntary.  Many of those don't make it very far before getting stuck in a camp where work is banned or getting sunk by somebody's navy who doesn't want them landing.  So the ones who make it to far-flung destinations like America tend to be the most persistent and capable ... or the luckiest, which also bodes well in entrepreneurship. 

A smart country would be taking advantage of that and engaging their skills as fast as possible.  Local-America is not that smart.  Terramagne-America is a lot smarter (mostly) hence the Rutledge thread of Polychrome Heroics.
