"You assume that immigrants increase our fiscal burdens and our exposure to crime. But the data support neither of these assumptions... 
    "This fact (as well as, by the way, immigrants’ lower propensity, compared to native-born Americans, to commit property and violent crimes) is all the more notable given that Uncle Sam spends enormous amounts of resources and effort to prevent immigrants from working." 
         ~ Don Boudreaux, from his letter to a reader on 'Who Owes Compensation?'

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
