The United States Federal Government should implement an open door policy.

Note* I clicked on some of your sources Con, most of them are Error pages. In counter to the first argument, I never said that the taxation of these immigrants would have high returns. But I have evidence from a primary source. This primary source is me, a first generation American citizen. My parents hail from the nation of Ethiopia, both lived in a middle class life style, one won a lottery ticket here and the other bought his way here. They both learned the american ways and at first were working minimum wage jobs, but within 15 years they transformed themselves into productive Americans. When their wages are combined, a total of 150,000 dollars is brought in the household, they are taxed significantly for the income they make. And it's not only my parents, most of their friends are Ethiopian immigrants as well. To go even further, one is a cardiac surgeon banking 500,000 dollars a year while owning a hospital ( and he was born in a nation with a GDP of 51 billion! What I am trying to say is that most immigrants are hard workers, they on average would integrate themselves into the american culture and become wealthy Americans to a degree. And if this primary source evidence inst enough to you, I will explain in other means. During the early 20th century immigrants would come to America for one thing. .. the American Dream. It is the hard workers that come to America, they've heard the stories of the American greatness and want a piece for themselves, as the case of my parents, they become american and try to achieve what they could not achieve in their homeland. Cons 2nd argument is quite irrelevant, we are talking about the affect immigration would have on economics and government, not culture which can categorized as a social topic. It is stated in the first round by Rezamee. I was going to call Con's third argument invalid as well, but it barely fits in since he stated "We have no idea what the carrying capacity of the United States is" this can be considered a economic issue. So the United States is a nation of 300 million people, most of our cities are quite modest when it comes to population density. And their are a plethora of jobs that currently are almost vacant such as a crab fisherman, accountants, salesman, etc. And in fact, jobs might be added with an open door policy as well as a wage increase, according to the Washington Times, if their is reformed immigration a total of 9 million jobs could be added, at the same time a 4.8 pc increase in GDP would occur and an added 1% productivity growth over the span of twenty years. Adding to this immigration would reduce the deficit by 1.2 trillion in twenty years. These immigrants would create jobs too, seeing as that a lot of small businesses are owned by immigrants. The time-bomb is already ticking. America has very low birth rate (1.7%), and there is a rapidly growing elderly population. To supplement this, we would need more young people. And plus if their is a huge elderly population that would drastically hurt the economy, for people of low age are the ones that usually buy the most. Not the 69 year old living off social security. So in order to fix this problem an open immigration policy is needed. Unless you want the federal government walking around telling people to have kids or get fined. In response to your final argument, immigration would in fact increase jobs and boost the economy. For one, their would be a larger population meaning more to sell to, so employers would hire more people to accommodate for the rise of population, meaning those people will go buy stuff, in turn causing employers to hire more people, you can see the cycle now. Two, like I said earlier, immigrants are capable of creating their own business;therefore, creating jobs. Three, jobs are not static, but rather flow on consumer spending, if people are buying a lot, we will see a rise in jobs. Immigrants from other nations are not going to come empty handed, most would come with whatever money they could acquire at home and spend it in the United States. Note* Just so you know for round four, no new arguments in rebuttals.
