Very good show despite the fact that it was mainly given over to one person. In this case a talented and charming actor, director, playwright, Sara Jones, who focused on the immigration issue which was all well and good. However, the show brought out the lack of an opposing voice on this issue. For example, should the U.S. have open borders? Should there be any restrictions on immigration at all?



The US now admits about 1 million legal immigrants yearly, mostly from developing countries, especially Mexico and Central America. Should we remain at this number? Should we multiply such a number by 10? If 10 million of legal immigrants a year is a good round number, what are the implications for the 10 million or more who would still be denied?

Is the U.S. free from the laws of resource scarcity? Do the million plus every year who come make no impact on our politics and our environment, taxes and government services?


DN is free speech radio but on this issue there tends to be only one voice.
