Overwhelmingly immigrants are intelligent hard-working adults with abilities they have developed as they grew up in their countries of origin. They come here like a gift to our society.

Of course they need things like houses and schools and medical services and so forth but among them are the people to provide all those things, builders, teachers, doctors and nurses, and all the other skills.

But we have fallen down so badly in the way we organise our society that those skills don't get used as they could be. And the reason for that is an economic and political system that is functionally and morally insane.
