I don't think we need any competition in those categories Don. But limiting immigration from what you refer to as third world countries might be politically difficult to obtain. You have to remember to include business and religious immigrant proponents when you gauge the climate for closing or curtailing immigration numbers. I think there may be a little more than you realize. I'm saying that in relation to your claim of "huge support", and not because I'm arguing against it. It wouldn't pay to fool ourselves with wishful thinking.
