Well I'd argue that at least currently more is being demanded, and yet less is being offered from our elected officials. If you look at the bailout as an example, 70% of the populace was against it according to the polls IIRC, and they did it anyway. Then look at healthcare the populace is up in arms against the public option, yet our elected officials are still pushing for it. I guess actually demanding more would be to vote out everyone who voted for the bailout goat rope as well as anyone who votes for this universal healthcare nonsense. I voted against my senators/congresscritters who voted for the bailout in 2008 and I'll do so again for any who are left in 2010. Maybe the rest of the country will do the same, we can only hope.

To clarify, people are immigrated, goods are imported.

Sigaba it's called cynical sarcasm, I apologize if you didn't get that from my post, while yes people do immigrate, the 2nd order effect of that immigration is that we are importing anti-American sentiment. Why fix the borders if we're going to allow/encourage people from cultures who have openly called for the destruction of our way of life into this country? It would seem to me that we've got plenty of people here already who hate this country, do we really need to bring in more?
