Shock: Neocon speaks out against immigration

Jewish writer, David Frum, on Obama's amnesty:

In a time of very high unemployment, it seems simply reckless to invite future waves of migration — and especially of the low-skill, low-wage migration that America has mostly attracted over the past four decades. Every serious economic study of immigration has found that the net benefits of present policy are exceedingly small. But that small net is an aggregate of very large effects that cancel each other out. The immigrants get higher wages than they would have earned in their former country. The affluent gain lower prices for in-person services. Lower-skilled native-born Americans face downward wage pressure. In any other policy area, people who consider themselves progressive might be expected to revile a policy whose benefits went to foreigners and the rich, and whose costs were born by the American poor. Immigration policy baffles that expectation.

It is such a pity that the Republicans don't realize that by coming out against immigration, they could win vast number of votes from low-income white Democrats. Unfortunately, they seem to be more concerned with not appearing racist to the Left.
