Examining Arguments in Favor of Open Borders, More Immigration

Ann Coulter smart, rational, humorous lady. What part of propaganda does she not understand? Propaganda is false, written, published and broadcast to deceive. See e.g., Frankfurt School, chased from Germany by Nazis, moved to and still at Columbia University, as Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy, where they promote "ideas." See too Oleg Kalugin ex-KGB chief in DC who explained on Fox News their mission was to divide Americans. They did a great job, now being continued, supported and encouraged by the current White House.

The “New York sure seems safe to me!” argument is like the “Saturday Night Live” sketch of Bill O’Reilly arguing that New York has more people than California.
Bill O’Reilly: You also say that California has more people than any other state. I say New York state has more people — tell me where I’m wrong!
Thomas Woodward: (confused) Um … well … Bill … actually, California is the most populous state.
Bill O’Reilly: I don’t know, counselor. I live in New York, and I walk down the streets every day, and there’s people everywhere! You can’t move! You know what I mean? Last week, I was in California, went to the beach in Malibu. Nobody! Practically empty. So, for my money, New York’s got more people. Probably New Jersey, too.
Thomas Woodward: Well, Bill, your own experience notwithstanding, each of the last four censuses has clearly shown –
Bill O’Reilly: Sorry, counselor, not buying it! Not buying it!
Thomas Woodward: Bill, I swear to you, California is our largest state!
Bill O’Reilly: Look, Mr. Woodward, you’ve got your opinion. I’ve got mine. We’re not gonna settle this tonight.
That’s a comedy sketch.

The second main line of attack on the idea that immigrants are committing prodigious amounts of crime is apocryphal “studies.”
The two researchers whose work is cited over and over again for the proposition that immigrants are less criminal than Americans are Alex Piquero, criminology professor at the University of Texas at Dallas, and Bianca Bersani, sociology professor at the University of Massachusetts, Boston.
Pew cites their studies — and everyone in the media cites Pew, leading to headlines like these:
“UT Dallas prof finds immigrant kids less likely to commit serious crimes, re-offend” — The Dallas Morning News
“UMass Boston Prof: Stereotype of ‘Criminal Immigrant’ Doesn’t Hold Up” — Targeted News Service
“Surprise! Donald Trump is wrong about immigrants and crime” — The Washington Post
Curiously, we are never shown the actual studies, but simply told — with some heat — “studies show!”
[. . .]
Even if the immigrants’ crime rate was the same as “the overall population” — and it’s not — we’re supposed to be admitting immigrants who are better than us, not “six of one, half dozen of the other.”
Why? Because we’re picking them. If the food in your refrigerator is rotten, you don’t go out and buy more rotten food on the grounds that it’s no more rotten than the food you already have. This is the new food you’re picking and you’re paying for.
Instead, we’re bringing in legal immigrants — forget illegals — who are way more criminal than us, notwithstanding phony studies no one bothers to read.
