Agreement

Based on a book that I am currently reading entitled "Wealth, Poverty and Politics; An International Perspective" by Thomas Sowell, I would agree that is certainly a possibllity. A number of factors will determine the fate of this nation, particularly the culture from which these people have come. If immigrants are used to hard work and want to succeed, they will do so.

However, people from cultures where hard work is not important could be detrimental to our country. This is probably an over simplification but we need to do more careful evaluations of those who want to immigrate here.
