Caesar's is a wonderful story. We need more people like him and more stories to highlight the benefits [economic, cultural, and inspirational] that immigration affords when capitalism is the rope used to pull people up.

Thank for highlighting and sharing this very important article. I couldn't agree more that more capitalism [and open minds] is the prescription for what ails America

Oh! I'm glad you commented, Paul! I failed to give you a hat tip for referring me to this article, so I'm doing so now. Thanks! =)

I like most of Bill Frezza's stuff on RCM and elsewhere. He's a very consistent defender of capitalism and individual rights.

Great posting. Thanks for the memories. This is yet another example of the talent and contributions America is losing by not making access not just safer, but easier as well for those seeking to come here for a better life.

Funny!

The Republicans are trying their hardest to emulate Obama. They're just not as good at it as he is.

The article you linked to is by Harry Binswanger, not Leonard Peikoff. In fact, Peikoff seemed to be supportive of the Arizona law in a podcast in the Summer of 2010.

Thanks for the quote. It pairs up well with Dr. Peikoff's recent article on Arizona's immigration law and capitalism.

Regardless of how they eventually rule, Scalia's comments are still awful. I also don't claim the Constitution is perfect. I'd rather make the case for the way things ought to be.

I appreciate your comments, though, and they're entirely appropriate within the context of our immoral government.

I'd discourage you from reading too much into the questions asked by the Justices. There is almost always aggressive questioning, and the media almost always pretends it's unusual.

With that said, the job of the USSC is not to defend liberty, but rather to interpret the Constitution faithfully. As Ayn Rand herself acknowledged, the Constitution permits many infringements of liberty that are not morally proper, but are entirely legal.

Hahaha... That's so true!

2012-03-29T23:06:36.234-06:00

Hahaha... That's so true!

Thank you!

Hmmm... some parts of the US are different enough I feel like I should take my passport with me.

But enough about the Eastern Seaboard.

Ha ha! I know how you feel! It was weird to me to see what was going on elsewhere when I lived in TX. Fortunately, we don't have too many of these days here and more sun than Houston, so I love it! =)

Since you refuse to state how this is relevant to ANYTHING, I will not be responding to or posting anymore of your comments.

You guys seem to know a great deal about my beliefs and motivations based on a few comments.

Let me ask you this: I have no idea what the crime rate is in various parts of Las Vegas. But if I go there I'm not going to the black areas at all and I'm not going to.the Hispanic areas aftter dark. Does that make me a racist?

2012-02-01T12:08:24.799-07:00

If you used this same data to suggest, for example, that black mothers shouldn't be allowed to reproduce - because their offspring are more likely to be criminals - you would be rightly condemned as a racist.

The statistics are there but they don't tell you anything about any particular hispanic seeking entrance into the country. Nor do the statistics tell you anything in particular about any specific black child being born.

That you would punish an entire race of people because some small percentage take up lives of crime is sad, but not surprising. Immigration often brings out an ugly stripe of racism in a lot of otherwise nice people.

2012-02-01T11:43:51.030-07:00

If no one's rights should be violated, then the rest of your comments don't matter.

It makes no difference to me what crime rates are, anywhere. Criminals should be treated as such wherever they are, and known criminals should not be allowed to immigrate here. No one has said otherwise anywhere in this post or in the comments.

If you can explain why anything else you have to say is relevant, I'll post it, otherwise, I'm done with you. It's obvious you're just hateful toward Latinos and that's not something that I'm interested in debating with you about.
