[QUOTE="cobracide, post: 16704227, member: 4644"] When I say "Putin cares about Putin" it is analogous to Putin cares more about staying in power over the betterment of his own country. As a leader, the country and the people should come first - even at the cost of ego. For Putin an other Authoritarian leaders - it is them that are most important, not the country or people or rights or anything else really. I don't think anyone with a choice would want to live that way under Putin's rule. Closing borders keeps out the trash, but it also stymies innovation via the brightest of minds wanting to immigrate as well. If America can actually address this issue properly, our nation can benefit from immigration as we have in the past - with the creme of the crop engineers and scientist wanting to come here as in the past. Unfortunately, this has faded. China graduates multiple times the number of engineers the US does in a single year. Soon they will surpass the US in most technologies. Unfortunately, we are part of the generation that will witness the rise of the east and the fall of the west (and US). In a country that makes nothing but lawyers and real estate agents, how can it continue to succeed against an engineering and manufacturing powerhouse that mimics the US circa 1945? [/QUOTE]
