"Think Outside the Box:"

Comprehensive immigration reform not only benefits societies with a diversity of people and an "outside the box" mentality when it comes to "profiling" (in its various forms affecting psychological synaptic responses in communities), etc., but immigrants add capital to the economy in the USA in that I read recently: naturalized citizens en masse add 15 billion $ to the US economy while natural Americans en masse drain the economy to the tune of 115 billion $ (or, was that trillions?).

Either way: comprehensive immigration reform with "a path to citizenship" enhances the experience of life in locations like Maine or any community for reasons that synaptic responses of community members show "true colors" of community members whether community members "practice preachings" on Sunday, Friday, Saturday or any day of "faith" or are merely hypocrite hoarders of a so called secured love of money ignorant of the fact that "life is richer" monetarily in communities with a diversity of community members from different walks of life.

A diversified population is a challenge to psychological, synaptic, response mechanisms by members of communities ultimately leading to a more educated, monetarily rich public than not and may even prove to increase longevity in a work force: work force longevity equaling more tax revenue and a broader, ever growing economy with actual "trickle down" effects unlike what the GOP taxed and spent at airport bathrooms on absurd persuasions of what "trickle down" means in an economic sense.

As an example, diversified tastes of people and how so called "profiling" is a non-sequitor anywhere and in Maine: so-called "slaves" on Maine's outer islands during the 1600-1900 epochs were given the job of salting cod for "slave owner" markets in Boston and across America.  The "slaves" were forbidden to eat the cod, but the "slaves" were given lobster to eat.  In 2013, cod is cheaper than lobster.

Were it not for fluctuations of demand on various resources on a global scale in 2013 by many diversities of people who have never heard of Maine: marine industry workers in Maine would not have a job today.

Further: urchins were first fished in Maine during the 1980's because of a Japanese immigrant who moved to Portland, ME during the 1980's and wanted a menu item of urchin enlisting a local fisherman and diver who first dove Casco Bay, then the Crescent Beach area.

Because of pollution in Casco Bay, urchins in Casco Bay were non edible: but, in less polluted water along shore lines like that of the Crescent Beach area, urchins were edible and in 2013 ... they fetch a $10/urchin price with tax, which benefits the local economy.

Either way: "there is no accounting for tastes" and anything but comprehensive immigration reform with a "path to citizenship" is like "kicking a ball with no legs" in terms of economic based societies like that of the USA.
