Also the making seeping generalizations about anyone of a certain color HAS to be something is just a childish exageration. People who actually discuss reality talk about group averages and statistics. As a huge fan of Thomas Sowell, I would love it if all blacks were like him. Looking at the high school dropout rates and the voting patterns for big government, I would guess that there are actually very few like him.
Like OneFor Freedom said, these are basically the Ron Paul platform and he got traction from a good percentage of the Republican base. Unfortunately, it has absolutely zero traction on the left. As they've shown with Obama doing all the NeoCon Hawk stuff, the left is fine with adventurism abroad just as long as they get thier social agenda taken care of at home. The one thing that appeals to a large part of both the left and right is rule of law. Enforcing the existing laws would have the best support out of all the possible proposals.
Hehe. Show me a country of brown skinned libertarians. The Libertarian ideology is strictly a white phenomenon. Pew polls show that Hispanics prefer big government over smaller government by 70+ percent. They don't vote on immigration issues, they vote for welfare.
I wonder how many of those over 65 weren't actually alive? It's Chicago politics so it could happen.

Unfortunately, Mr. Stossel would love to open the borders (which would actually protect us if used) to anyone in the world who wants to kill Americans. He doesn't connect the dots that we wouldn't need to "fight them over there" if we didn't let them in here. He's just like Greg Gutfeld, the Libertarian on FNC's "The Five". Thier mindless pursuit of Amnesty trumps any Libertarian outrage over Civil Liberty violations caused by the pursuit of terrorists allowed into the country. Giving up liberty to pursue terrorism is especially frightening when DHS is designating patriot groups as terrorist.

Dr. Sowell is an amazing intellect and stands to give very sage advice on a wide variety of topics. Unfortunately, with the recent charges against MSgt Sommers for his conservative views, I can't give my opinion on this topic because it deals with diversity in the military which is held very near and dear to our leaders' hearts.
Notice how this mass murder has suspiciously been missed by the nationwide news? It's most likely because the guy's name was arabic.

Economics vs. 'Need'

Of course Dr. Sowell is correct and explains the issue well. The wages will go up or the farmers will invest in mechanization. The UC Davis had an agricultural mechanization department which made great improvements in mechanical harvesting but was shut down by political pressure from immigrant labor unions and agitators.
Doug, if we would control our borders, we wouldn't have to worry about foreigners attacking us. That includes drunk driving, human trafficking, gang violence, regular street crime, and terrorism.

I think he meant that we helped overthrow the Secular Government and now there is Muslim Rule. We should have stayed out of it to begin with.
