Are you saying that your comment, "I have some misgivings about getting
involved in the discussion that Randy started but, whatever." is NOT an
insult?

Let me clarify: I think that people with advanced degrees in science and
expecially MD's are beneficial to the "owners" of America (its citizens) and
therefore I espouse allowing them into our country, our commonly property.
Just as many businesses seek to hire people who will benefit the business.
If I, Randy Smith, own a business, and I want to hire, I hire the person who
will benefit me, Randy Smith. And if I am a partner in a business, we, the
partners, will dicuss candidates, and hire the ones that benefit us, the
partners, the most. The candidates that are more likely to put more pieces
of green paper in the wallets of the partners are those candidates who will
be hired. An advanced degree is science is often a good marker of such a
candidate (in many cases).

See above re: "greem pieces of paper". That means currency, money, moola,
bucks, etc. And since we own the "place of business" we are INDEED
concerned about OUR income.
That, my friend, is the way of the world. Unfortunately, many of my AMerican
citizen-partners have been swayed by very wealthy parties such as
corporations, who benefit from bringing in more immigrants to lower wages.

What do you think of MY "impartial economic analysis" above?
