In the Trumpian view of the world, restrictions on immigration are good because capitalism is a zero sum game.

Capitalism works through incentives to innovate. That& #39;s why patent law is enshrined in the US constitution. Ben Franklin got that. (Who was such a great American, that they have a museum for him in the U.K., where he was a foreigner https://benjaminfranklinhouse.org/ ).">https://benjaminfranklinhouse.org/">...
To understand that wealth comes from innovation, do this:
Look around you, notice anything that uses electricity, and recognize that without capitalism and innovation, you would not have that.

Innovation doesn& #39;t appear out of thin air.
It& #39;s all about the people.
You need the *very* smartest people.
We are not getting the very smartest people.
Not from outside our borders.
And we& #39;ve been literally killing them within because of the color of their skin.

Trumpism is focused on eating a larger share of pie...
Instead of making a bigger pie.
So here is what I have to tell the rest of the world:
You are welcome for all the pie you& #39;re going to get.
Eat it more gracefully that we have.

The juxtaposition of Trump& #39;s lead in polls on managing the economy and the implications of immigration policy is a testament to the failure of human imagination. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/25/upshot/poll-2020-biden-battlegrounds.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/2...
