Re: America in DECLINE dialog

Thought:

I think when Friedman says we are "very good at integrating immigrants"
it is mostly true as a job force. The argument is economic, and not
sociological. However, as long as our nation cares mostly about
immigrants as a labor pool, our utilitarian view will continue to
dehumanize.
