Robert Reich on Immigration
Robert Reich exposes some myths about immigration. I’d have a couple of quibbles (I wish “myth” weren’t used in this way, for one thing), but they wouldn’t change the overall result. This is why I don’t worry about immigration. In fact, our paranoia about immigration costs more than immigration, in my view. I favor treating aliens as “the citizen among you …” (Leviticus 19:34). And yes, I’m aware of the hermeneutical issues with using that verse, but I choose to borrow the phrase nonetheless.
And… what he doesn’t speak to is the overriding interest he and his left-wing liberal supporters have in making faux citizens of illegal aliens and their family members to provide a voter base for the democrat party. All his talk about any other supposed rational is without merit.
