Eventually, it came to be considered a land of opportunity, still very much one by use of slave labor for a long time.
Finally, a sense of opportunity grew, during and after slavery, for those who lived here or came here as refugees.
Now there is little difference,
in the long run,
from leaving borders open for the poor billions of the world, especially the hundreds of poor millions in Mexico and further south, to come here,
than from buying and importing cheap goods from poorer countries,
rather than those made by citizens of this country.
Either way, eventually, you get to the China Price,
and thus, the China wage.
