Stossel Season 4 Episode 24 The American Dream 2013
From John Stossel's blog: My parents were born in Germany. They couldn't find work in Europe so they came here to pursue the American Dream. As a libertarian I say ... let people come! There should be free trade in labor as well as goods and services, that way everyone is freer and richer. But it's hard to have open borders when some people want to kill us. It's also foolish now that we are a welfare state, and some people want to come here to freeload. Former Colorado congressman, Tom Tancredo, wants to deter illegal immigration by forcing employers to use E-Verify to identify lawbreakers, while added more security to our southern border. When Special Correspondent Kennedy went to the border, she found the fence riddled with holes. Consumer Electronics Association CEO, Gary Shapiro, says it's not true that skilled immigrants take American jobs... they actually create them. 40% of America's biggest companies were founded by immigrants or their kids.
