Illegal Immigrants Aren’t the Same as Home Invaders
==========
James Pethokoukis argues against the analogy of illegal immigrants as home invaders, stating that a country is a public entity while a home is private; immigrants seek better lives and contribute economically, unlike home invaders; immigration law is complex, unlike simple trespassing laws; the analogy is often used in bad faith by immigration restrictionists; compares illegal immigration to people sneaking into an amusement park, contributing positively; cites Penn Wharton analysis indicating immigration has broadly positive effects on the U.S. economy, helping to keep America young and reducing retirement burdens; recommends further reading on immigration arguments.
