Another great comment on immigration from Robert Higgs

[erowe1]

Here's a Facebook status Higgs posted today:

Anti-immigrant hawks are very vocal in their support for the government’s deportation of all so-called illegal immigrants. Notice, however, that the USA is awash in native-born murderers, rapists, thieves, spouse-beaters, free-loaders, deadbeats, bad-check passers, and riffraff of every conceivable sort. Why, I wonder, are the anti-immigrant hawks so strangely silent in regard to exiling all such ne’er-do-wells? Surely if it serves the interest of Americans to get rid of hard-working, God-fearing, family-loving, honest and ambitious immigrants, it ought to serve their interest vastly more to get rid of the native-born lowlifes who have already proven themselves worse than worthless.

If citizens steal, murder, etc., they end up in jail.

Those who are might have an opportunity to immigrate here, but they must stand in line, along with all the others around the world who want to come here.

He doesn't however mention all the illegal alien gang members, rapists, murderers, etc. Wonder why that is?

Unless they have political connections. Just-Us.

All the more reason not to steal and murder, eh?
