[Summit] Overnight jobs

[Greg Gerritt]

Jobs often follow the people.  That is one reason new immigrants are so
importatnt to growing economies.  Actually there is no formula.  There is an
interaction between immigration and economy.  They influence each other, but
neither rules.  So saying you welcome 75,000 only if they have jobs, is a
paradox, as the fact of people coming creates many of the jobs they will
fill.  

Clearly residents of Summit, like all of the US, do not really understand
immigration and its role in economies.  It is very clear the Republican
party neither understands, or wants to.  And the idiocies the Republicans
put out make it harder for the American peoplel to see clearly.  Note,
Democratic Party is not really any better at this one.  Greg gerritt
