Thomas Sowell is not impressed with the current immigration bill or the arguments used to support it. He writes:
The immigration bill before Congress has some of the most serious consequences for the future of this country. Yet it is not being discussed seriously by most politicians or most of the media. Instead, it is being discussed in a series of glib talking points that insult our intelligence.
He should know, because he’s got a lot of intelligence to insult. For the rest of us mortals, though, it can be handy to have a scorecard listing the ways our intelligence is being insulted, and Sowell provides a particularly good one.
HOW IS YOUR INTELLIGENCE BEING INSULTED IN THE IMMIGRATION DEBATE?
You actually got the name wrong. The article is by Victor Davis Hanson, not Thomas Sowell.
Yeah, that’s one of the dangers of tabbed browsing. Sometimes I grab the wrong tab when I’m pasting in a link. I have’t even read the Hanson article yet.
Thanks for the catch. Link fixed!
It’s not insulting to disagree about the practical application of complex immigration reform.
Thanks for this link. It’s terrific.
