So you don't expect the U.S. to endure any social costs from large-scale immigration from a neighboring country with a different culture and language?

(I also think you're being a bit inconsistent yourself -- if the New Deal at 70 years is no longer an experiment, why are immigration controls "experimental"? The Chinese Exclusion Acts were passed in 1882, far earlier than the New Deal. But I'm not going to press you on the issue, as the above question is the crux of the matter.)
