Institute co-founder Sheldon Richman weighs in on the latest immigration debate.
"The standard answer is that those jobs are American jobs. However, if capitalist entrepreneurs want the freedom to hire consenting workers living abroad, the jobs obviously are not American jobs. Who has the right to declare them otherwise? A job is a continuing transaction between an employer and an employee. It has no national label. To insist that it does have such a label because the employer operates on U.S. soil is to accept a premise that requires proof, namely, that the government or a majority of voters owns the country. That premise glaringly clashes with the principle of liberty. It makes freedom a delusion."
