Quick Economic Primer on Benefits of Immigration

To those gentle readers still not persuaded by SWNIDish wisdom to support a more open immigration policy for our Republic, we commend today's summary in the WSJ of Jason Riley's book Let Them In: The Case for Open Borders.

Riley appears to make a mostly-economic case for supporting immigration, and as an amateur economist, we find it completely sound. We add that welcoming immigrants is also very consistent with an enlightened approach to loving one's neighbor, a pretty important moral imperative for folks like us.
