Let Them In: The Case for Open Borders

Openborders is wrong manyillegals come and take opportunities from citizens why should we bend over backwards for others who disrespect us! Immigration improves country but the legal ones like when my family came after going through communism in europe and we respected and learned the language here. Fact openborders is caused by tyrants who want communism and indoctrinate kids into it in schools. We know who the real enemy is its "them". Judgment will come. Vets and citizens deserve medical,dental,housing,food and so forth not to be taken away by lawbreakers coming and getting catered to by NWOelites.Facts!

The thinking on the immigration, both in the US and even more so in other countries, is dominated by emotional arguments. In the light of that it is truly refreshing to come across a book like "Let Them In" where a principled free-market conservative ideas are promoted. In an era when there is an increasing interconnection and interdependence of world economies on each other, it becomes ever more untenable to insist on free exchange of goods and services, while preventing the free flow of people. This is particularly true in the light of the fact that it is precisely the human capital that drives most of the advanced economies forward. Reilly is a journalist for Wall Street Journal, and this is reflected in his accessible and engaging writing style. The book is an easy read, well researched, and clear in its arguments. It is quite possible that there are flaws in those arguments, but if there are any they should be dealt on the intellectual and not personal level. The issues dealt in this book are already rife with passions on both sides of the debate and it is not helpful if they are only dealt in the lowest-common-denominator manner. Hopefully this book will help create a way for this debate to be elevated to a higher level of discourse.
