BUT SHALL IT PREVAIL?

Unless we curb present levels of mass immigration, Americans are likely to live in a more conflict-ridden, less cooperative, less advanced, more unequal, higher-taxed, and more government-heavy society, says author Mark Krikorian, in his new book, "The New Case Against Immigration: Both Legal and Illegal."

These effects are fundamental:

  • Mass immigration -- because it is, in effect, a policy of importing poverty -- overstrains government services from Medicare to education even as it hikes the tax burden.
  • Innumerable studies show, for instance, that immigrants and their children account for most of the rise in those lacking health insurance.
  • Hospitals across America have been closing their accident and emergency departments in order to avoid the bankruptcy caused by having to treat such patients; hence one result of mass immigration will likely be some form of socialized medicine.
  • But the additional taxation paid by immigrant workers will not equal the costs they impose for about 300 years.
Mass immigration, explains Krikorian, has damaging effects on matters as diverse as national security and automation.
