Clamping down on immigration will go down as one of the greatest policy blunders in US history. The American people are about to find out the hard way that national economies are essentially pyramid schemes.

It is better to stop pyramid scheme earlier than later.

All of the schools seem to be in metro areas where there are probably opportunities for consolidation.

The US is much better at integrating immigrants into its society and making them economically productive.
