I still cant wrap my head around this. :-/ In contrast, the advocate of free trade and free markets who adopts the (conditional) free immigration position is involved in intellectual inconsistency. ...population movements, unlike product shipments, are not per se mutually beneficial events because they are not always -- necessarily and invariably -- the result of an agreement between a specific receiver and sender. There can be shipments (immigrants) without willing domestic recipients. In this case, immigrants are foreign invaders, and immigration represents an act of invasion. Surely, a governments basic protective function includes the prevention of foreign invasions and the expulsion of foreign invaders. Just imagine again that the U.S. and Switzerland opened their borders to whomever wanted to come -- provided only that immigrants be excluded from all welfare entitlements... it too would amount to a massive foreign invasion and ultimately lead to the destruction of American and Swiss civilization. ~ H.
