The police don't provide security. No one should be denied the right to own personal protection. Outlawing guns only creates an underground market with problems like those in Prohibition. Let's have stiff penalties for the negligent or criminal use of guns and leave peaceful, responsible gun owners alone. A great way to help the poor is to let them go where the work is, regardless of international borders.
Economic studies show that most immigrants want to work short periods and return home.
They stay longer because illegal border crossing is dangerous and costly. The same studies show that immigrants are productive. They don't take jobs, they add to the economy. Respect for human rights and compassion for the world's poor require that we relax immigration restrictions. The income tax is evil, and it's unnecessary.
