Три статьи про иммиграцию
Две статьи плохие: Stephen Cox, [1]; Bruce Ramsey, [2]. Там разъясняется, что если границы открыть, а все остальное оставить без изменений, social security лопнет. Это мы и так знаем.
Хорошая статья (Richard Fields, [3]) излагает по существу: The conservative argument that a welfare state and open immigration cannot coexist sounds logical. But the problem is obviously not immigration. It's the welfare state. Our century of unlimited immigration did not present any significant economic problems. But then, it is argued, we did not have a welfare state. Conservatives, in essence, take the defeatist approach of throwing up their hands and saying "Do you really believe we can get rid of the welfare state?" [..] We libertarians tend to be optimists.
