I know what “TPTB” stands for. I’m asking you who exactly you’re talking about. Which TPTB? The Executive Branch? The Congress? The border patrol? The INS? The staff of the Mises Institute?
As for Clayton, he’ll be the first to admit he’s extremely paranoid, and personally I think he gives way too much credit to the people in high positions and way too much credence to their organizational ability and ability to maintain a global cartel spanning multiple countries and governments. I just don’t buy it. I’m not saying there isn’t a push for global government, there always is. I’m not even saying there aren’t elite interests pulling strings above government. I’m just saying extrapolations like this (and those that follow) are just too far-fetched.
As for immigration it would depend on what you’re talking about. If you were talking about an anarcho-capitalist society or something along those lines, then I could see it. But it sounds to me like you’re talking about more-open borders, but in today’s world, with today’s government, today’s welfare state, today’s warfare state…and I just don’t exactly see how someone with your level of understanding would assume that simply opening borders would automatically be a good thing.
Indeed, it doesn’t even seem like your overall premise is true…as plenty of what we hear about these days is how Obama wants more immigration so as to capture more votes.
The Beneficial Impact of Immigrants
Didn’t you just tell me TPTB are against immigration?
