There has been a rising anti-immigration sentiment, directed specifically at immigrating Mexicans.

I find it hard to believe that people can be so easily persuaded. This is an issue that I grappled with for a while that eventually lead me down a path towards market anarchism, particularly as it relates to the question of land ownership. </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://mises.org/Community/aggbug.aspx?PostID=24626" width="1" height="1">http://mises.org/Community/blogs/brainpolice/archive/2008/03/30/the-case-for-free-immigration-the-case-against-borders.aspx#24613Mon, 31 Mar 2008 17:51:18 GMT944abf2b-d1be-4bf2-990d-438cb0e377e9:24613nje5019<p>Wow, fantastic post. You completely turned me around with regards to my views on immigration. I was one of the, &quot;well as long as we have a welfare state we need closed borders&quot; people but now I see the problem there. Thanks.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://mises.org/Community/aggbug.aspx?PostID=24613" width="1" height="1">http://mises.org/Community/blogs/brainpolice/archive/2008/03/30/the-case-for-free-immigration-the-case-against-borders.aspx#24548Mon, 31 Mar 2008 10:45:01 GMT944abf2b-d1be-4bf2-990d-438cb0e377e9:24548Brainpolice<p>Well wouldn't desocialization of public infrastructure be precisely what libertarians want? The point is precisely to make them private. Even assuming that this won't happen anytime soon, it hardly makes sense to therefore propose more government interventions to restrict immigration in the name of fears over the welfare state (the post-ponement arguement). </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://mises.org/Community/aggbug.aspx?PostID=24548" width="1" height="1">http://mises.org/Community/blogs/brainpolice/archive/2008/03/30/the-case-for-free-immigration-the-case-against-borders.aspx#24503Sun, 30 Mar 2008 23:33:38 GMT944abf2b-d1be-4bf2-990d-438cb0e377e9:24503Chui<p>My only problem with your line of reasoning is that it would lead to desocialization of public infrastructure. Roads, schools, teachers and hospitals take time and money to build up. Unless these resources are made private, there is no way the current tax payer can keep up.</p> <p>In Australia, the fast growing cities which are enjoying a high net migration (within the country) are experiencing exactly these issues.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://mises.org/Community/aggbug.aspx?PostID=24503" width="1" height="1">
