SOMEBODY READING ME? Kathy Kinsley sees value in immigration amnesties. "One other advantage that a pardon of illegal immigrants would have, unmentioned in the article, is that it would get them all on the tax rolls. We could use a larger tax base." Yes, provided you don't induce welfare migration. (Go at once to your library, this paper is now in print!) This Cathy Young essay also appears to be current with the research: "An amnesty for illegal immigrants would bring people out of the shadows in which terror cells can lurk and make it safe for people with useful information about possible terrorists to cooperate with law enforcement."
