Reply to comment by scientist4321 in Here’s Gov. Baker’s plan for dealing with the influx of migrants to Mass. by bostondotcom

Immigration is a loser politically though. Merkel realized that they needed more people and allowed refugees in from a variety of places and paid a large political cost for it. I think that Governor Baker can do this as he is leaving and as Massachusetts is welcoming of immigrants.

Historically, it has worked well for the US.

And the immigration to Germany added to their gdp [citation needed - have no time to look for it]

Not sure why some people have stopped believing in what made this country great. I seriously suspect it has to do with racism and that the new immigrants are not blonde enough.
