Reinier SchuurPodcast audio:
In this episode of New Ideal Live, Onkar Ghate and Agustina Vergara Cid criticize various pro-immigration arguments and discuss how they undermine a proper moral defense of immigration.
Among the topics covered:
- How conventional pro-immigration arguments are based on altruism and collectivism;
- How altruism leads to the infantilization of refugees and failure to advocate for economic migrants;
- How diversity quotas perpetuate racism in the name of fighting it;
- How the “economic case” for immigration reduces immigrants to servants;
- The false assumption that the interests of Americans and immigrants are inherently at odds;
- How anti-immigrant advocates have set the terms of the immigration debate;
- How to think about the claim that pro-immigration advocates are seeking to dilute American values.
