John Lott: Illegal Aliens Are Not Less Likely to Commit Crimes

This has never been plausible.

I did let them convince me of it for awhile--and I have never though that crime was the main reason to stop illegal immigration anyway.

But it's never been plausible.

The left starts with what it wants to be true or what it thinks ought to be true, concludes that it therefore must be true, and then brands anyone who disagrees with it ignorant and a racist.

The radical vanguard, of course, doesn't believe in borders and wants to destroy nations in general and the U.S. in particular...and knows that unregulated immigration is a good way to do it. But your average progressive in the street just thinks it's mean not to let illegals in...and give them whatever they want. It's mean, and the only reason you might disagree is that you are mean.

They don't have a firm grasp of the is/ought distinction, nor of the fact that there are unpleasant truths.
