| Open immigration has very good benefits and very bad flaws.
The obvious benefit is that immigrents provide a cheap labor force. This drives down prices as costs go way down when you don't have to pay everyone minimum wage.
The flaws, of course, are that in socialist states like California, immigrents are allowed to cross over and receive government welfare without having to work. It's the worst type of free ride. Hell, if I know one thing it's this: if the government is going to steal my money away and give it to someone else that I don't even know, he/she better damn well be working.
And, like it was mentioned earlier, a minor flaw is that it would be easier for a terrorist to get into the country. But really, this is almost a non factor. If the FBI would do its job and track possible terrorists, then we wouldn't have to worry about them blowing stuff up. |
