From the Interview
At 8:35 Bloomberg Businessweek contributor Charles Kenny our special guest to talk about his piece How to be a Patriot: Hire an Illegal Immigrant. Laws against illegal immigration make little economic or moral sense, so why punish the brave citizens who break them. He argues what makes the political impasse over immigration particularly frustrating is that hiring an illegal alien is good for the illegal alien, good for the U.S. economy, and good for the country he or she comes from. So what’s not to like? In cases like this, there is only one moral course available for true patriots: Go find an illegal to hire. Huge numbers of people in border states are doing precisely that.
