Immigration Socialism versus Open Borders

by
One of the most fascinating parts of the ongoing, never-ending debate over immigration is how statists continue to think that somehow their immigration-control system is finally — finally! — going to be made to work. Their hope is that someone somewhere will finally — finally! — come up with the perfect reform that will finally — finally! — make their system work.  It’s never going to happen. The sooner the American people accept that reality, the better off everyone will be because then we can adopt a system that not only works but is also consistent with the fundamental rights and liberties as well as moral and religious principles. Think about it: For at least 70 years, we’ve had an immigration system that has brought nothing but continuous crisis, chaos, death, suffering, an immigration police state, a Berlin Wall, and the destruction of liberty, privacy, and private-property rights.  Although statists are loathe to admit it, throughout ...

Immigration-Reform Nonsense and Delusion

by
With the expiration of Title 42, the pandemic-era policy of preventing foreigners from entering the United States to claim refugee status, America’s perpetual immigration crisis along the border is back in the news. Along with the crisis comes the popular refrain that we have heard for at least seven decades: “We need comprehensive immigration reform to bring an end to our ‘broken’ immigration system.” That decades-old refrain, however, is nothing more than nonsense and delusion.The reason is that, contrary to popular opinion, America’s immigration-control system is not “broken.” If it were “broken,” it is conceivable that someone might be able to come up with some type of reform that might fix it.  America’s immigration-control system is inherently defective. That’s different from “broken.” Something that is inherently defective cannot be fixed. There is no possible reform that anyone can come up with to fix an inherently defective system. After ...

Will Biden’s Trip to the Border Win the War on Immigrants?

by
Immigration-control advocates are ecstatic over President Biden’s visit to El Paso. Maybe — just maybe — Biden’s trip will be what finally — finally! — brings victory in the decades-long U.S. war on immigrants. Except that it won’t. The hope of the immigration-control advocates will be dashed once again. The decades-old immigration crisis, along with the deaths, suffering, ...

The Free Market Can and Should Be Absolute

by
The 1932 Democratic Party platform advocated “the removal of government from all fields of private enterprise except where necessary to develop public works and natural resources in the common interest.” But since the advent of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal — a raw deal for Americans that raised taxes; forced most manufacturing industries into cartels with codes that regulated prices; paid ...
