The perspective of the OP is flawed, because it's based on untrue data. This current batch of perspective regarding "uncontrolled" vs. "controlled" immigration is flawed, because it assumes those are the only two possible options.
Smart government is kind of difficult given the need of bureaucrats to pigeon- hole things with labels that can fit into boxes easily. And people to look for simple solutions that can appease frightened members of crowds with snake oil salesman type solutions. They make a good bumper sticker but that is about all.

And it is a lot harder to think on terms of people as individuals.
