As a former H1 visa holder, this article interested me and shows the value that immigrants bring to the USA.
According to this opinion piece, the USA and specifically Santa Clara county is only the leader in tech because of immigrants.
In 1965, the Immigration Act of 1924 was repealed, opening the gates to immigrants and allowing a critical mass of technology companies to develop in clusters around Boston and Santa Clara County. A significant proportion of all the best graduates from the best schools in India (IIT) came to the USA -- in effect, the USA siphoned off India's best talent and used it to develop leadership in technology and to grow the economy.

Fits by showing "The Shire" needs a scouring, since it has been taken over by the remnant forces of Mordor and stupid. So tell us again why Obamacare is pure evil socialism that will make us all into illegal Central American immigrants who get health care, education, food clothing and housing, and the prospect of a productive and happy existence! That's how it fits!
