Tough question: as a 15 year old immigrant of different culture and religion and concepts, he seemed happy enough to have emigrated, but as a 100 year old he wasn't so sure about whether that ladder should be pulled up.
(or maybe he was just miffed that instead of loanwords from hebrew, eg Tacheles reden, the kids in germany are shocking their elders by getting their loanwords from other semitic languages, eg Ahki?)
which sides are both sides again? in this case I claim that it's difficult for imported skills to be transmitted to the next generation when the US educational system is (or at least it was during my time) built around producing the sort of highly fungible Schumpeterian worker bees who play well with others.
Who in america doesnt argue for skilled immigrants from Europe/China/India/Russia is an enlightened fella, who doesnt just listen to the people, he thinks for himself & the world. cependant, they shant get the party nomnom, or even the afterparty nomnom
(Bernie? Chomsky? DJT, only whilst on goldplated throne?)
(although I guess every consequentialism has to have a steep discount factor, otherwise putative desired consequences arbitrarily far in the future could be claimed to justify obviously undesirable actions today? Note also that Gov. Long didn't die in bed.)
