Immigration discussion

An informative discussion here on immigration, from an Objectivist perspective, with Yaron Brook and Onkhar Ghate -–both from the Ayn Rand Institute and both, as it happens, are immigrants to the United States.

How does immigration affect small countries when millions are on the move? Don’t the worst get in? Or the dangerous?

And what about immigration and welfare—isn’t why the hordes are coming? Or immigration and voting—won’t freedom-lovers be swamped? And is there a difference between residency and citizenship—and does it matter? And should we really contemplate giving big government an even bigger stick to beat people with?
