Re: Disrupting the Minuteklan

No one can stop illegal immigration from a country with lower economic freedom (such as Mexico) to one with as higher level of economic freedom (such as the U.S.)

Any Republicans who want to try to win "the war on immigration" as well as we've won the "war on drugs" should remember that drugs still get into the country, but at least they don't vote.

Republicans who truly believe in the free market should embrace more immigrants (expanding immigration to have more legal immigrants) and make sure they know that the U.S. is a rich country because of economic freedom, and that the Republicans stand for economic freedom, and that the Democrats would love to turn the U.S. into a country as economically unfree as Mexico.

According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, "Foreign firms continue to list bureaucracy, slow government decision-making, lack of transparency, a heavy tax burden, and a rigid labor code among the principal negative factors inhibiting investment in Mexico."

Re: Re: Disrupting the Minuteklan

Even though I'm not a supporter of capitalism as the highest value, I still think the current situation is anti-capitalist because of the welfare state. If we didn't have a welfare state or government subsidies to private interests, I might have a different opinion of the immigration situation. As it stands, this just looks like more socialism for the rich to me, with the middle class paying the welfare costs of big business's cheap labor.

Besides, does anyone seriously doubt that the long term result of this is just turning the United States of America into another Latin American basketcase with incompetent socialist governments, leftist politics, a terrible economy, and a lower standard of living? Our government will be just as statist and socialist as theirs if this migration continues. The capitalists are digging their own graves. Put down the Ayn Rand and take a look at what's happening to your country.
