...immigrants from any one country. That would reduce the number of legal immigrants from Mexico by about two-thirds?but it might correspondingly increase the flow of illegal immigrants. There has also been talk (indeed there may soon be a law) of making it a crime to employ an illegal immigrant. That might?or might not?end the large-scale exploitation of Latin Americans. Officially, the laws governing today's immigrants proclaim that the U.S. needs only professional and highly skilled labor, but in fact, like all richly developed societies, the U.S. also has an unofficial need for someone...

In the long run, freedom will extirpate all racist doctrines, which cannot survive without the support of coercive government power...
...military equipment from manufacturers in the U.S. and Europe. Despite the nation's vast oil wealth, it is having cash-flow problems. It will post a $2.4 billion budget deficit this year, mainly because world demand for oil remains well below expectations. Bartering would thus allow Iran to employ its excess oil production capacity and use the crude instead of cash to pay for the planes...
