All eyes are on the labor market.
One of the most thoughtful, intelligent and balanced articles that I have ever read on illegal migration and the small boats crisis. Kudos to @matthewsyed for this:
“Your first duty is to serve your own citizens. Not people from Eritrea, Somalia, Afghanistan or Nigeria. The British people.
Oh, and the nation you serve is not just a territory. It is a home. Our home. It is where we live and work, and where ritual, community, family, and other concepts we might assemble under the rubric of "culture" come together to weave the fabric of a life. Our life. The only life we have and which unfolds in concord with those with whom we share it.
Without borders, we are not a nation, and without a nation, we are nothing.
We are but tribes or clans, scattered here and there, pipsqueak groups unable to operate at scale or to defend what is precious. To open our borders in the name of "compassion" to people, some of whom hate our values and wish to destroy them, is to place your virtue above our safety. It is a form of self-annihilating madness dressed up as enlightenment.
Only the myopic will infer from the above that I am in favour of slamming the doors to those in need.”
Here’s the full article in The Sunday Times.

I want to ask the students screaming “Death to America”, do you have any idea what happens when American values die?
Because I do.
My family fled Iran, a country where freedom died. You don’t know what you have until it’s gone.
You think America is oppressive because you have never experienced real oppression.
You think silence is violence because you’ve never been silenced.
You think words are dangerous because you have never watched a government drag someone away for speaking them.
You think capitalism is evil because you have never stood in a bread line.
You think borders are immoral because you have never had to flee across one.
You think revolution is romantic because you have never had a revolution take everything from you.
I have.
And that’s why I refuse to be quiet.
