Someone among TPTB mentioned the I word! And no one noticed??<br /><br />Seriously. I don't recall anyone having mentioned this aspect back when Evan's speech was in the news. Or is it that everyone so has internalized that immigration is an unmitigated good, and that since the current immigration systems is "broken," he must have meant only one thing, moar immigrants? Now that I type it, I wonder if he did, indeed, mean only more immigration can fix the nations slack employment growth.<br /><br />Someone ought to ask him how that is supposed to work.AllanFnoreply@blogger.com
