Post #3733 M: Kavanaugh is NOT a Pro-Liberty Dream; The Federal College Cost Bubble

Quote of the Day

If people are good only because 
they fear punishment, 
and hope for reward, 
then we are a sorry lot indeed.

[Various comments on a Facebook open borders group:]

Nils Kilden-Pedersen you are making far too many concessions to State rationalizations to restrict the natural right to migrate. In the nineteenth century, these were not criteria--in fact there was no national safety net, e.g., when my French-Canadian ancestors emigrated to find a better life in New England.

...

This is all demagoguery. Bernie Sanders opposes free trade and open immigration as well. The labor unions regard migrants as competitors, undermining their bargaining. These parasites are not open borders. They are simply politically opportunistically exploiting the anti-immigrant family policies of this administration.

...

This is spot on. This idea of the US or other countries being swamped by visitors doesn't factor in costs-benefits to visitors. A professional colleague told me while we were working in Brazil he could get me nearly double my salary working for the client, but I wasn't interested. And my Brazilian girlfriend had no interest in leaving her extended family and friends, culture, etc. Even before the US imposed its insane quota system nearly a century ago, only a fraction of eligible people chose to come here.

...

This is an assault of liberty and an abomination. At least in the US, immigrants have thoroughly assimilated within 3 generations without government policies.
