Why Mass Immigration Is the Key to American Renewal Our economy, politics, and culture all need the revitalization only immigrants can provide.

In “Why Mass Immigration Is the Key to American Renewal: Our economy, politics, and culture all need the revitalization only immigrants can provide.” by Deepak Bhargava & Ruth Milkman in the American Prospect talk about “mass immigration” in a positive way.  It begins:

“Could admitting millions more immigrants over the next decade be the jolt the U.S. needs to revive its economy, culture, and politics? After four years of restrictionism under President Trump, ongoing border controversies, and an escalating culture war led by nativists, this idea may seem counterintuitive or even far-fetched. But recent labor market trends, demographic changes, and even accelerating climate change all point to dramatically increased immigration as a logical catalyst for national renewal. Becoming the most welcoming country on Earth for migrants—breathing new life into our most flattering, if too often inaccurate self-image—could be our salvation.”
