While I might wish for growing population in those with similar political leanings, we need to move more of the growth toward those who can/will take care of kids. We need more growth in people with good moral character who value education and hard work

The funny thing is

  • conservatives think this is mythological white society from 1950s
  • most of the rest of us talk about the missing middle class
  • realistically this myth was probably based on the best of immigration. Those with the motivation and drive to uproot their lives and move to another country, work hard to take advantage of every opportunity, and build a better future for themselves and their children.

This immigration story works for my ancestors a century ago as well as people I currently know following the same pattern in the modern world
