And Pray tell- a State set in the middle of a vast Ocean, with international waters surrounding it, what does that do to your argument?
Not much, really. My point was only that you can't pretend that allowing open immigration isn't a choice.

As it happens, I tend to favor immigration. But I also think it tends to screw a lot of people, who deserve government resources as a result.
