EDIT: I see Donger just cited the same study.....I'll have to examine it more closely to see the distinction between immigrants and illegals they are making.... |
I usually read the
Cato Institute but it is Libertarian ( I have a libertarian streak but I am not a pure libertarian). Libertarians
do not believe in the idea of having borders at all. They'd just as soon do away with them. Sorry, but I don't go for that....I believe in nation states and national sovereignty.
Seems to me that there are contrary facts on these numbers. Must be each side is using them selectively.
So let's say the numbers back the amnesty folks up....I still think forgiving this problem with leniency just encourages it even more. It encourages a disrespect for another nation's laws.Globaloney! What I don't get with the libertarians, even the right-libertarians, is that they also claim to support the idea of "rule of law." That's not supporting "rule of law"...it's rewarding lawlessness. Never a good thing...imo.
