Border Crossing

You know what they say about fools rushing in where angels fear to tread? Well, here goes nothing. With immigration back in the news and the Sierra Club thankfully not embroiled in the debate, I'll take a chance by linking to this item that appeared a couple years ago in the Why Files. It's still relevant, and best of all, it's rational. Why should you read it? Well, because population growth is an environmental problem that's not going away and immigration is one factor in that larger issue. Why not take a fresh look at it, at a time when passions on this side of the political divide are not running so very hot? Perhaps that's foolish of me, but as William Blake put it, "If the fool would persist in his folly, he would become wise."
