The Wall Street Journal's Jason Riley on Immigrants—Let Them In!

The Wall Street Journal's Jason Riley, author of the recent book Let Them In: The Case for Open Borders, gives a spellbinding presentation about the myths surrounding immigration.

Riley walks through the history of German, Irish, and Mexican migrants in rich and compelling detail, deflating nativist hype while also complicating easy narratives about the United States as a mythic destination for all the wretched of the world.
