That's always been true, yet the US had open door policies in the past and Canada still does.  Both gained from the practice, so what's your point here?

The US had an open door policy when it lacked a welfare state and it worked out okay because 2 out of 3 immigrants went back to where they came.  An open door policy now will decimate the welfare state.  As for Canada, they are a full election cycle behind the US.  I expect Trudeau (unemployable former substitute drama teacher that he is) to be tossed out on his ass and a Trump like figure to emerge there.

We have a choice we can have a welfare state, or we can have an open door policy.  It seems that the American nation wants a welfare state of some degree and as such we cannot, indeed must not, have open door immigration policy.

The laws of economics are iron clad.
