Being a first mover and bringing in the 'best' people is smart before every rich country is trying to bring them all in. Japan is already nearing a point of no-return with their population. Italy is another place with a shrinking population.

You're talking about generational demographics and at the same time, saying we can't take a breather for a few years? Again, no one's saying zero immigration, but how about not record levels while our hair is already on fire?
