**If only wishing could make things so. If it did, Mark Krikorian would be in a great position. We don't need immigrants, he maintains. We can stop them coming. We can even wage a war of attrition against those already here until we've reduced the foreign-born population to . . . I don't know, maybe the vanishing point.
The problem is none of this true.**

**I have long considered buying a voicemail system, so that when people would call, a pleasant voice would say, "This is the Center for Immigration Studies. If you think immigrants take jobs Americans won't do, please press 1 now."
