It matters because given the current climate of anti-immigrant rhetoric, immigration may become nigh on impossible. If this had happened a few decades ago there would be no Steve Jobs and no Apple, and an important contribution to American culture/technology/economy would never have happened.

There is a rather long and impressive list of Billionaire and influential recent immigrants or children of immigrants.

But are they statistically more likely to be rich than native born?

I wouldn't confuse "anti-immigrant" with "anti-mass immigration".

We may be better off with a simple, more modest, legal only, citizenship oriented, points system.

See also PG. But the anti-immigration crowd don't seem to mind so much if the people immigrating are white.
