I composed the following statement to a recent press question when asked to comment on immigration policy in North Carolina, especially when reflecting on recent legislation in Arizona:

Immigration policies like Arizona Immigration Law SB1070 2010 are a discriminatory practice, allowing law enforcement to judge who can enter and why. The only reason this discrimination exists is to protect government entitlement programs that shouldn’t be in existence to start with. The solution, then, is to open the borders and eliminate the entitlement programs that are the real source of animosity and hyper-defensiveness. Furthermore, I personally believe such a “let me see your papers” attitude is a violation of the natural rights of those whose papers are required or requested, and that it’s the role of government to protect those natural rights for both naturalized citizens and unnaturalized guests.
