I just finished reading an utterly fantastic new book. With the possible exception of The Future of Freedom Foundation’s 1995 book The Case for Free Trade and Open Immigration, this new book is the best book on the issue of immigration I have ever read. It is entitled The Case for Open Borders. The author is John Washington, who has written for The Atlantic, Washington Post, The Nation, The Intercept, and other outlets.
Ever since FFF’s inception in 1989, I have been emphasizing one important point: There is one — and only one — solution to America’s perpetual immigration crisis and morass. That solution is open borders — genuine open borders — not the immigration police state that statists (as well as some libertarians) call “open borders.” Genuine open borders entails the elimination of the Border Patrol, ICE, the immigration police state, and all restrictions on the free movements of goods, services, and people across borders.
Martin Luther King called the U.S. government “the greatest purveyor of violence in the world.” No one can reasonably deny that he was right. U.S. invasions, occupations, wars of aggression, coups, regime-change operations, inciting and provoking wars and conflicts, sanctions, embargoes, and state-sponsored assassinations have all contributed to what amounts to a massive death toll among foreign citizens. We don’t know the exact number of people the U.S. government has killed in, say, the last 80 years but it certainly has to be in the millions. That’s nothing to scoff at. When it comes to killing, there is no doubt that the U.S. government has made America Number 1.

Count me as one of this show’s viewers. I have now watched 3 episodes of the four-part series.
The documentary is based on a 2010 book entitled The Last Circle by an investigative reporter named Cheri Seymour. The book was published by Trine Day. Seymour’s book and the Netflix series revolve around the death of a man named Danny Casolaro, who was investigating what he was convinced was a vast governmental conspiracy, which included the CIA and that involved such things as BCCI, Iran-Contra, Inslaw, arms dealers, money launderers, thieves, murderers, and drug-runners. He was planning ...

Immigration and Liberal Hypocrisy
Let’s give credit where credit is due: When it comes to hypocrisy, liberals can be just as two-faced and duplicitous as conservatives.
We’re all familiar with conservative hypocrisy. The favorite mantra of conservatives is: “Private property, free enterprise, and limited government.”
Yet, the favorite programs of conservatives are: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, public schooling, education ...
