I have had several requests to address where I stand on the border issue (everyone should already know where I stand on the War on [Some] Drugs). I have already elaborated on immigration issues, at length, in several places, so this Note will (at least initially) represent my opportunity to "bring it all together."
I consider this video debate a starting point:
- Andrew Napolitano (2010:May 4). "Jack Hunter and Don Boudreaux: 'Paleocons' vs. 'Libertarians' [on] Immigration," Freedom Watch, no.110. Fox News. [alt link]
The remainder of my reading list here, in reverse chronological order:
- Michael C. Moynihan (2010:October). "Safe Border Cities: Placid in El Paso," Reason.
- Nick Gillespie (2010:Jul.1). "Here's a Radical Comprehensive Immigration Plan: Increase the Numbers Who Can Come Legally," Reason.
- Warren Meyer (2010:Jul.1). "The Conservative Case For Immigration: Immigration laws make for the worst possible intervention into free labor markets," Forbes.
- Michael C. Moynihan (2010:Jun.03). "Our Peaceful Borders," Reason.
- Radley Balko (2009:Jul.6). "The El Paso Miracle: How can a comparatively poor, high-immigration town that sits across the border from super-violent Ciudad Juarez be one of the safest big cities in America?" Reason.
