“As we have tried to erect a fortress, so have we managed to build a prison.” Instead of a prison, let’s build a bridge.

America’s ability to “absorb” immigrants is greater today than it was in the past.

We need to make a beginning toward the establishment of freedom of immigration for all rights-respecting individuals.

For almost three years now, many wonderful artists, intellectuals, students, business professionals, and musicians have been locked out of US borders, even just to tour around and see this great land and meet up with friends. It’s simply barbaric and yet there it is.

No nation has an unlimited capacity to absorb immigrants of any sort, and especially immigrants whose cultures are not simply different, but antagonistic, to the values of the society in which they settle.
