Entry: Let Them In? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/let_them_in#30388 Post contents: Lost in all the economic hubbub is something (one of the few good things) we should have learned from the Chicago School. There are social costs involved, too. While immigrants create new "markets," there is an erosive effect on native, local traditions -- which cannot be measured in the marketplace (itself an abstraction, especially in a fiat currency economy). This, incidentally, coming from one who generally supports free (as opposed to managed) trade. Sent at: 2008 11 20
