        The point isn’t to say America doesn’t have smart and educated people but that America would need additional smart and educated people to do all the things Europe is doing currently and America is not. The same problem would be exactly identical in reverse if you wanted to reduce a world where Europe imported half (lets simplify a bit and ignore everyone else’s contributions from other parts of the world) of the high skill products from the US and produced half domestically and now suddenly wanted to switch to doing it 100% domestically.

        Where would the US in the current anti-immigration (and anti-education for that matter) political climate get high skill and high education people who can have their pick of any country in the world if they want to uproot their life at home at all? Not to mention in numbers that replace essentially every high skill and high education job in Europe?

        And no, it doesn’t really help that you only need to produce for the domestic market because you can’t half write a piece of software or half invent a drug if you only need it for half the people.

          And the point is Europe is adopting the same anti-immigrant attitudes while being on average much worse of a place to integrate within.
