Ron Paul says he's against amnesty for migrants without government papers. I am too. Amnesty is a pardon for wrong-doing. Why would migrants without government papers need a pardon? They've done nothing wrong. But in the spirit of the season, the migrants might consider granting amnesty to the government thugs who have hounded them since they got here.

Sheldon, have you ever been on the Mises forums. It's ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteLewRockwell.com does an article against the migrants almost every week. EVERY WEEK! And to top it off, look at this crap,

I've seen the disgusting commercial (and linked to it in the previous post). Thanks.
ReplyDeleteStill wondering why you are even contemplating supporting a presidential candidate, Sheldon. Especially Paul.
ReplyDeleteI still see net value in it.
ReplyDeleteNet Value. Hmm.
ReplyDeleteUncertain results + good intentions - first principles = a sucker bet
I guess net value could encompass negative net value as well. I see your point.
Caution: those first principles are scarce and not easily recouped.
I don't really understand your position. Should we not have any rules about imigration? I think imigration is great but I think that people who respect the laws are the ones we should welcome. If the laws suck then we should change them. I think that if we did not have such an oppressive state that wants to control all aspects of our lives through social engineering, that we would not make such a big deal about imigration. On the other side I think that this stupid law in Arizona is a terrible idea that will lead us further into total state control.
ReplyDeleteAnon, what do you mean "we"? Is there a moral obligation to comply with legislated violations of the natural law?
