Someone Disagrees With Me, And They Might be Right

I wrote last week about immigration and how no one thinks illegal immigrants actually have the Right to immigrate. But this TCS article disagrees. In fact, it is the subject of the article, that people ought to have the right to immigrate to other countries to improve their own lives, and by doing so, tacitly consent to following the laws of the new country. Law-abiding immigrants therefore have the right to be Americans. This right, therefore, trumps the potential economic harms (or benefits) to the US.

Hey - why not?
