An editorial in the June 2nd, 2008 NY Times concludes with the following thought: "Every time this country has singled out a group of newly arrived immigrants for unjust punishment, the shame has echoed through history."

At Radical Immigration we agree with the Times on this. However we feel that the causes of this attitude are more correctable than the editorial staff believes.  The historic reason for excluding others was tribalism which in turn was driven by the need to allocate scarce resources.  Now as scarcity becomes less endemic in the world the tribalism and xenophobia it causes will change toward a more welcoming attitude.  Click here to read more about why Radical Immigration believes the Right to Migrate will win.
