It's interesting to see the discussion often mentions as a counter-
measure the support for open borders and more immigration. I've
noted from discussions elsewhere with left-inclined people that
there is a strong tendency to feel that they should take on a pro-
immigration position. I'm not convinced that this is correct - on
the basis of what I've seen and read, it seems to me that strong
immigration is bad for _both_ the home country of the immigrants and
the new host country's workers. The only people who seem to benefit
at all are the immigrants themselves and their relatives back home
(the latter due to remittances), and even that is debatable. Why
should we support mass immigration again?
Doyle;
I think you must consider nationalist boundaries more clearly then.
They establish what? In many places they are arbitrary. If that
group in that boundary is starving or otherwise stressed do they have
a right to resources available globally? How are these resources
going to be distributed?
thanks,
Doyle Saylor
