Isn't increasing immigration parasitic on the donor countries though that experience a brain drain? Like the argument I hear is oh we can get doctors from India and other places, but those countries need their medical staff too. I'm pro immigrant like if people need to move that's their choice I just don't think of it as a solution to some of the world's problems

When have you ever seen the US trying to solve world problems? The country always does things purely in its self interest

Like every nation does, like every nation should - obviously US interests have the most power backing behind them, so we're are more likley to see those interests come to fruition.

Yes, and I hesitated about including immigration for those reasons. On the other hand I’m also an open border advocate. In a global economic system people have to be free to migrate as they choose.
