NO. 3 AND COUNTING
If you want to understand the importance of the immigration issue from the long-term perspective, and stripped of the singular focus of the "Border Security" filter of mainstream media and politics, do read this article in USA Today, titled "A Nation of 300 Million".
Regardless of where you fall out on the immigration debate, the article makes clear why immigration is a key ingredient of the "secret sauce" of what has made and continues to uniquely make the United States great.
And you may learn some new stuff...
Like the United States is now the third most populous nation after China and India, and uniquely growing it's population vs. it's industrialized peers.
The drivers of this growth include birth rates, longevity and immigration, not to mention a vibrant economy, and a stable political and legal environment.
It also comes with an excellent online graph feature, that offers additional context on the numbers, both from a state by state, and an international perspective.
