Immigration economics ignored by economist
Thomas Sowell is an economist who ignored immigration economics as he wrote about immigration today. He is a Harvard graduate. Famous. Prolific writer. Honored on the Rush Limbaugh show. I personally am amazed at the insights I have heard from him. How disappointed I was, then, that he wrote today about immigration, without a word [...]
Immigration and jobs increase together
Immigration and jobs increase proportionately. Contrary to the myth of restrictionists, immigrants do not take jobs away from citizens. Nor do they only create new jobs for themselves. They create jobs for themselves and for citizens. Contrary to the limited vision of the “Gang of 8″, it is not only the “educated” immigrants who create [...]

Fixing our national debt by importing taxpayers
By Dave Leach What does immigration have to do with fixing our national debt?

Does the Chicago sanctuary city policy result in more murders? Today I read the blaring headline “Is Chicago’s Out-Of-Control Murder Rate Connected to Its Sanctuary City Policies?” by Byran Preston at PJ Media. The article strongly suggests that although most murders in Chicago are committed with guns, the Chicago sanctuary city policy leads to out-of-control [...]
Are Immigrants Abusing Welfare – Fact or Myth?
Do we have a problem with immigrants abusing welfare? One of nativists’ favorite claims is that mass immigration of unskilled, undereducated immigrants from third world nations leads to immigrants abusing welfare. Nativists also claim the offspring of such poor uneducated immigrants will become a permanent underclass and vote Democrat to keep ‘free stuff’ coming. Nativists’ [...]
Birthright Citizenship Myths and the $2 Billion Emergency Medicaid Controversy
Kaiser Health News issued a report claiming that the Emergency Medicaid program mostly helps unauthorized immigrants, which has ‘poured gasoline on the fire’ in the long standing debate over birthright citizenship. Nothing riles up the Nativist lobby more than the notion of birthright citizenship for children born of unauthorized immigrant parents. The constant Nativist narrative [...]
