8 million per year?! That certainly puts things in perspective. Of course, I don't think anyone other than anarchists IS calling for returning to 1850s levels

- x1798DE 11y agoI don't think even a significant fraction of the people over at http://openborders.info http://openborders.info would describe themselves as anarchists...
- lymanstone 11y agoAs I said, I doubt anyone thinks it's a reasonable number. But I put it out there because advocates of immigration need to be aware that EVEN THEY probably prefer tighter immigration than we had in the 19th century. I don't think there's any political constituency for 19th-century levels of open-ness. I mean, I favor much higher immigration, but even I'd balk at that, regardless of origin.
