Yes! After all the studies showing that immigrants contribute more to the economy than they take away; after all the studies showing the problems caused by the *illegality* (not just the *immigrants*); and in the face of the obvious boon to some of the worlds poorest and most oppressed people: It's a DISGRACE that the Near Left (among others) hasn't come out for unlimited immigration. This is one libertarian idea that's dead right. Compassion, anyone? --Paul V. Torek, feeling like a Gulliver in intellectual Lilliput torek@umich
