I'm asking what if it were skilled laborers coming across in droves? Like what happened in Miami when Batista fell. Programmers don't require licenses. They just need to present proof of skills.
Doctors and lawyers and other licensed skills are different, but what about those unlicensed skills. I offer this hypothetical situation. The Punjab becomes an Islamic, separatist state and starts to spread the violence to central India. Or what if the Tamil resistance spreads from Sri Lanka (I'll admit this is far fetched) into the mainland of India. Who is going to leave? The skilled laborers first. Where will they go? The UK and the US. Not all will come legally. We see that now. >> What would have happened to us if all of these illegals were >> programmers instead of construction and agricultural workers? > >Are you serious? > >I mean really. > >you're seriously asking us to consider this from the angle of skilled >vs unskilled labor? > How?
