OpenMarket.org: Immigrant Assimilation

  • More information · 1 year ago
    The government is as about as hostile to "immigration" as some agencies are to citizens, and Bush frequently acts like a Mexican agent. So, that's not going to wash.

    A discussion of the study and the coverage is at my name's link.

    With 221,644 deportations last year, a thin trickle of legal immigration, the capping of visa programs like the H-1B to a paltry 65,000 a year, and limited student visas, the government is very hostile to immigration.

    Black markets, like illegal immigration, only exist when the government outlaws things that people want. Americans want to employ foreign labor, ergo there will be immigration. Whether it is legal or not is up to the government.
