  •  'No New Laws'? (3+ / 0-)

    Are you prepared to defend the current immigration system, as it's designed, ideal?

    I'd be interested in hearing how you'd justify the arbitrary manner the way the total quota for immigration is set, or how it ignores longstanding patterns of seasonal immigration. If you really believe we don't need anymore citizens, I'd like to know what you'd do to keep Social Security solvent once our national birth rate matches that of Western Europe.

    But I'd be most interested in figuring out how you squared the circle of at once being a nation committed to promoting human rights, while simultaneously continuing restrictionist immigration policies that lead to human rights abuses.
