So one's country of birth largely determines the level of "unfairness" one, on average, will experience in one's life. And that "unfairness" is locked into place by the restrictionist immigration policies of the least (or is it most) "unfair" countries. Don't I hear this same argument all the time within the USA only centered on ZIP codes? Life, whether for good or ill, in the USA is largely determined by the ZIP code of one's birth and residence. That's how the liberals frame American inequality...by ZIP code.
So, Brian, what exactly are the restrictionist immigration policies enforced by the various "unfair" ZIP codes in our, um, fair land? I thought freedom of movement, as well as assurance of non-discriminatory housing choice was guaranteed in this country. I suspect I've been misinformed—the question is regarding what exactly, and by whom...
Wasn't J. D. Vance born in one of those disadvantaged ZIP codes? Not his wife, but whose parents came from one of those disadvantaged ... well, you know the rest.
While restrictions can be huge let downs on personal levels, especially when they block individual aspirations to migrate and seek a better life - we all know that these are borne out of a complex combination of factors that governments have to essential navigate through to serve the broader interests of their citizens
Good piece. One grammar point. "Most unfairest" should be either "most unfair" or "unfairest."
I think he meant to suggest: “Unfairest, and *much* more grossly unfair than any other widely accepted policy.”
The second link is broken.
