[ExI] dead weight

[William Flynn Wallace]

Yeah, it's really hard to do statistics on immigration when wars are
driving people over national lines.  I think we are welcoming top people to

most welcoming nation there is, or we used to be.  The Japanese aren't
exactly welcoming.  Don't know about other countries.
