Perhaps in making that statement I am misreading what you are actually saying. But often people that make the argument that we do not need immigration and that immigration simply hurts the ability of those already here to get jobs are implying that if we just paid workers more here or paid them bet...

HK: I guess in a nutshell, from an economic consideration, do you think this county is on a good population trajectory without immigrants? I honestly couldn't say and I don't think many of us can either. If the Austrian School of economics taught us anything its that man and his free choices are an...

A well written piece and I do not disagree with all off it However it does raise a few questions for me. What exactly is your solution?

Bootstrap's graphs notwithstanding, both the Times and the Post came out this week with ledes declaring an emergency at the border. "Border at ‘Breaking Point’ as More than 76,000 Unauthorized Migrants Cross in a Month Video" "Record number of families, cold reality at border" On...
