Anti-immigration crowds call illegals "criminals" as if what they are doing (breaking the law) is inherently wrong. Naturally the underlying economics the person might be using is hard to untangle from their moral claims but I have little doubt that there are many people who think illegal immigration is immoral. Do you honestly think that some people don't equate what is legal with what is moral?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14364155797420903461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737941.post-82874963854219901422007-06-01T11:44:00.000-04:002007-06-01T11:44:00.000-04:00No one argues that illegal immigration is immoral....No one argues that illegal immigration is immoral. <BR/><BR/>An argument that some do make goes like this: "Immigration lowers natives' wages, Americans have the right or ability to control their borders, so let's not stand for having natives' wages lowered."
