The call for a national policy that recognizes the critical importance of immigration is not a call for open borders.
We believe that market forces should be allowed to play a significant role in immigration policy. It is ironic that some of the strongest proponents of an unfettered market in other areas of public policy make an exception for immigration. The number of illegal immigrants sends a strong signal that demand for immigration both among people who want to come here to work and those wishing to employ them exceeds supply. Similarly immigration levels consistently decline in times of economic distress.
