Submission statement (still getting used to this rule) – the op-ed is about immigration from the perspective of one Milton Friedman, a noted neoliberal thinker.

>Friedman said illegal immigration was a good thing so long as it is illegal. Illegal immigrants do not qualify for welfare benefits, Social Security, or other myriad benefits American citizens can receive. Illegal immigrants work hard, are good workers, gravitate to jobs, are better off here, and benefit the U.S. and American citizens. Illegal immigrants take jobs most Americans do not want.
>But if you make illegal immigration legal, then “it’s no good,” Friedman added.
Lol vintage Friedman, it reminded me of when he said that one of the reasons Italy did well in the past was due to tax evasion and people keeping their money instead of giving it to the government who would piss them all away. He had a peculiar view of the rule of law for sure
