By "some," you mean "one." Being a free market anarchist is pretty lonely sometimes.
But, let me see if I can't offer a partial solution to the immigration problem. First of all, here's three things I think we can all agree on:
1. Workers migrate from areas of low wages to areas of high wages.Examples of this are everywhere. Why do you think farm boys left the farms for the cities?
2. Businesses migrate from areas of high wages to areas of low wages.That's why your IPhone was made in China, your sneakers in Vietnam, and your computer in Thailand.
3. Wages in the United States are artificially high because of minimum wage laws.And they're getting higher. Trust me, there isn't a hamburger flipper in the world worth $15 an hour.
So, it isn't any big mystery why workers from Mexico are coming here, and businesses are moving to China. Laws of economics are as inimitable as laws of mathematics.
Do you want businesses to stay here, and Mexicans to stay in Mexico?
REPEAL MINIMUM WAGE LAWS!There, I solved those problems. Next week I'll start working on that cancer cure.
Onward and upward,
