What if instead of H1 visas we gave all educated people (BS or approve) a green card would we increase the demand down range? Ie more people living here would mean more housing, service industry, more money flowing in the system.

Two if we want to drive more manufacturing back to the USA we need to change the tax code which encourages it.
