Is it really true that political self-interest is nobler somehow than economic self-interest?

That's an interesting paradox to think about. Make it legal and it's no good. Why? Because as long as it's illegal the people who come in do not qualify for welfare, they don't qualify for social security, they don't qualify for the other myriad of benefits that we pour out from our left pocket to our right pocket. So long as they don't qualify they migrate to jobs. They take jobs that most residents of this country are unwilling to take. They provide employers with the kind of workers that they cannot get. They're hard workers, they're good workers, and they are clearly better off.

Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon.

There is no other complex field in our society in which do-it-yourself beats out factory production or market production. Nobody makes his or her own car.
