Just last week I believe it was Dennis stated on the air that Goldwater was right. Do I think his views have changed.

As for immigration, I'm for having it unlimited. Just no welfare and no ballots in other languages, etc.

I don't think race has a basis on behavior either, at least not in the sense of DNA passed on to children. Culture does matter, and some subgroups in this country have a real problem.

Well that’s nice, but go back and watch the debates over the 1965 Immigration Act and you’ll find that you are far to the left of even Teddy Kennedy with that position.

No one, no matter how liberal, argued that view. In fact Teddy promised that his bill wouldn’t increase the number of immigrants at all.

America has a culture and it gets passed on within families. Drowning that culture in a tidal wave of immigration changes the nation to the culture of the incoming group.

And the reality is that we have had welfare since the beginning of the country. It was just more local earlier. I think what you are arguing here is a utopian libertarian position that ignores reality and pretends that there can be a society that doesn’t provide welfare.
