#4 You might think, if you were president of the United States, that it might be beneficial for this country to encourage these wealthy French businessmen to immigrate here. They would be France's loss and our gain. I mean, these are the kind of industrious, wealthy, entrepreneurial people who could help our economy much more so than millions of poor peasants from Third World countries and religious whackos from Pakistain. That would be logical, would it not?
