I like this. I am reading it in a positive light though; could it be read as "we'll take those who make us richer but not others"? Is there an unintentional subtext?

Also, I'd swap economy and society at the end of the first paragraph.

Not quite ready to vote, want to hear from others first, but I agree with the direction.

fair point. It was intended to be read positively. I certainly didn't
intend for any subtext. What would you propose I remove the final paragraph?

I'm sure you didn't, but this is an area where people will misread intentionally. I don't think I'd remove anything, but perhaps we should also mention our moral obligation to provide a haven for those being persecuted in their own countries, or something, so it's not just one-sided on the "best and brightest" side of things.

Added an additional sentence to third paragraph, and an extra paragraph at
the end.
