In his book,
The Open-Borders
Network: How a Web of Ethnic Activists, Journalists, Corporations, Politicians,
Lawyers, and Clergy Undermine U.S. Border Security and National Sovereignty, author Kevin Lamb —
managing editor of this journal — makes this important observation: “The
propaganda in favor of uncontrolled immigration from today’s business leaders
echoes the arguments California business magnates made in support of bringing
in hundreds of thousands of Chinese coolies to work on the railroads and in
agriculture in the 1880s. Yet there is an important difference. Until recently,
advocates for American business took care to claim that their demands served
the interests of the nation and its people. Today, a growing and significant
segment of America’s most important business interests is not only striving
for, but openly espouses, the opening of America’s borders and the eclipse of
its national sovereignty.”

The special interests Lamb writes about are what President Dwight
Eisenhower dubbed “the military-industrial complex”: a powerful conglomerate
consisting of Wall Street moguls, multi-national corporate elites, and naïve
politicians, who on this issue, will march under a “free trade” banner in
anybody’s parade.
