Summary
A conservative columnist makes an eye-opening case for why immigration improves the lives of Americans and is important for the future of the country. He argues that our open-immigration policy goes a long way toward explaining the difference between robust economic growth in the United States and stagnation in places like Europe. Separating fact from myth in today's heated immigration debate, a member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board contends that foreign workers play a vital role in keeping America prosperous; that maintaining an open-border policy is consistent with free-market economic principles; and that the arguments put forward by opponents of immigration ultimately don't hold up to scrutiny.--From publisher description.
