The big problem with this thinking is well, their kids still have to go to school, who's going to pay for that? And what if they get sick and can't afford hospital care? Are going to let them die in the street? Of course not. Another huge problem with the WSJ's open borders idiocy is that new immigrants vote these days (another outrage for another time) and they invariably vote for more socialism. Something directly at odds with the WSJ's economic views. In other words, unlimited immigration (especially 3rd world) is in direct conflict with conservative ideology. While this is so clear to most conservatives it is a point that is continually lost on the neo-con continent within the republican ranks. Though I suspect some of these open border neo-cons like Bush have different ideas about U.S. Sovereignty than most Americans have.

Libertarians, neo-cons know what open borders will do for the country. Their agenda is clear: plenty of cheap labor for their business friends. Sorry, but I'm not buying. I'm sure if the taxpayer had to take a choice betweent a $1.00 head of lettuce and billions in schooling, health care, and prison costs they'll take the former. 35 years of mass immigration is enough already.
