Expert sees expanding legal immigration as nations destiny

Tomas — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 16:55:31 +0000

"With an estimated 12-to-15 million illegal immigrants already in the United States and more coming to the tune of 1.5 million each year, the illegal immigration debate is one certain to dominate presidential and congressional politics in 2008. Immigration issues are also likely to be part of the political landscape in Mississippi in the 2007 statewide elections. Against that backdrop, the reliably conservative Business & Industry Political Education Committee brought a surprising keynote speaker to its annual meeting in Jackson. Tamar Jacoby, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a nationally respected expert on immigration issues, is a rare breed of think tank author and speaker - a fiscal conservative who believes that "sensible levels of open immigration" is in this nations best interests."
