Another "open immigration" proponent..

1. I was bracing for another wingnut racist attack on idealistic utopians

and what did I get? --------something truly BIZARRE, on these grounds:

1) the link is to the Wall Street Journal editorial page.

2) it claims to be ONE MORE on the side of "open borders" in a line deriving from-----RAYGUN and Shrub!!1

3) its basis for wanting "open borders" is free trade and cheap labor (dressed up in language of human rights to sell their own labor and move around).


My contention has been that nobody around here espouses "open borders" except a dewy eyed beautiful soul who comes from the LENNON's "Imagine" frame of mind. Well, the WSJ ain't from "around here."

2. You should always know...

...what's happening on the other side of the aisle, hence the WSJ.

4. I monitor the "other side" all the time but your link was enlightening n/t

3. Self-Serving Propaganda: a specialty of the Wall Street Journal

As usual, the WSJ has concocted another twisted, greed-motivated, self-serving "free market" myth to justify amnesty and open borders.

No one except greedy Corporatists consider the ability to illegally hire illegal workers just a manifestation of "free markets." The "free market" rate for labor is determined by the "free market" labor rate for legal residents of that country. That's why we have laws against illegal hiring. That's why we have national boundaries and the old-fashioned concepts of "citizenship" and "legal residency."

Hiring illegal workers is not even vaguely consistent with the "free market" rate for labor. How would these same Corporate criminals like it if we remove their own numerous anti-free market protections such as patent protections, taxpayer-guaranteed loans, limits and prohibitions on many imports (such as pharmaceuticals), and limits on class action law suits?

They are also in favor of complete non-enforcement of anti-trust laws, unless it applies to workers and employees. Then they stand behind them 100%.

The editorial dept. of the Wall Street Journal is composed of nothing but a bunch of greedy, slimy hypocrites. According to the WSJ, all anti-free market policies that reduce competition and increase profits are good, reasonable, and justified. But any anti-free market laws that reduce profits are bad, and should not be allowed.

Screw the Wall Street Journal editorial staff. They're nothing but self-serving, greedy slime-balls. They're concerned with nothing but increasing their own short-term profits, at the expense of everyone else.
