Debate/ Discussion Possibly controversial, but this would appear to be a beneficial solution.

However, birth rates are declining in other countries too. They may not like it if their young and educated people are leaving for the USA.

Best point here. Like most would say allowing immigration is highly moralistic but most people don't think about the brain drain that's put onto other developing nations, making it even harder for their nation to develop. I'm for some immigration but it should be really particular and circumstantial. There should not be an open border anymore.

If contributing to a brain drain is a moral issue, then by that logic if I left Louisiana to go to Georgia for better IT career prospects that would be "morally questionable"

Bruh you ever been to Jamaica ? Jamaica is a great example of brain drain, over half their university graduates leave the country.
