closed borders and tight immigration is a terrible policy because it makes for no better way to solidify the welfare state and all the awful that comes with it. |

Bloody anglo saxons, coming over here, from Northern Continental Europe, with their inlay jewellery, and their shit burial traditions, and their miserable epic poetry... | |

Can you elaborate on why this is? Some of us don't understand what is so good about immigration and the benfits pumping up the numbers. | |

I want this thread to take off. I flip flop on my thoughts daily and feel fully justified each time. But you can always take amother step back. | |

it should be noted that i dont necessarily think it's a good idea to take in refugees. it's probably better than doing nothing. even if the productive and moral "quality" of the refugees were near the bottom of the rung, it would probably still be better. the better policy is to make them not needing to leave their region in the first place by drowning isis in an ocean of western muscle. |

i could possibly endorse that sort of behavior. it has been of yet almost wholly unexplored by academia (and the media is abhorred by the concept even though it adores covering it), but there is strong reason to believe that populist violence responses to mistreatment by normally well-behaved citizens are typically extremely impactful at forcing the hand of the government to fix its shit. |

My worldview doesn't really incorporate an assessment of whether it should or shouldn't happen through some kind of moral or ethical lens. Instead, I offer two observations: | |

Oh shit econtalk is from econlib. Best site for economics there is. I've stuck to just reading Sumner, Caplan, and Henderson (and not nearly as much anymore as I should). |
