In case you’re looking for counters to anti-immigrant rhetoric . . .

by David Safier

The Sunday Washington Post will carry an article, 5 Myths about immigration. It presents strong counter arguments to these statements:

1. Immigrants take jobs from American workers.
2. Immigration is at an all-time high, and most new immigrants came illegally.
3. Today's immigrants are not integrating into American life like past waves did.
4. Cracking down on illegal border crossings will make us safer.
5. Immigration reform cannot happen in an election year.

It's not a lengthy piece, so I won't try to summarize it. It's definitely worth a read.
