The Upside
How Immigration Benefits America
Recently a trusted colleague (OK, one of my author cousins, Alison Langley1) gently suggested that I lighten up on the negativity and Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive.2
In that vein, here are some Sunday Sermon links for your consideration:
Ran Abramitsky, 2017: “What History Tells Us about Assimilation of Immigrants”
Daniel Griswold, 2018: “The Benefits of Immigration: Addressing Key Myths”
Charles Hirschman, 2013: “The Contributions of Immigrants to American Culture”
Fwd.US, 2024: “Immigration Benefits All Americans and Strengthens the Economy”
ODNI, 2021: “The Future of Migration”
Yours Truly, 2017: “Richer, Stronger, Safer, Freer”
Of course, these links are full of facts, and Herr Miller and his Tiki Torch Boys are all about their feelings, and eff our libtard facts, eh?
More to the point, if you are a student of history and geography, you know that human migration is unstoppable, walls or no walls. Just as the Military Industrial Complex that Eisenhower warned us about has co-opted our economy in service of perpetual wars, the new Border/Detention Industrial Complex is attempting to convince us that we must be Very Afraid and give them More Money.
Trust the facts.
That’s all for now. THANK YOU! to all subscribers, new, free and paid.
Comments always welcome.
Above all, don’t be a fascist.
