"Opposing immigration reform for the reason that new immigrants will decrease economic freedom is a popular excuse in some circles – but there is surprisingly little evidence to support this myth. Moreover, merely pointing out that immigrants are more likely to vote for the Democratic Party is insufficient because actual policy shifts count more than partisan political outcomes. Those who claim immigrants will decrease economic freedom have yet to prove it." - LANjackal

Which circles are these? I had cynically thought "economic freedom" was some bullshit that glibertarian elites fed the rubes... didn't think anyone took it seriously. - Andrew C (✔)
