Today we’ll consider the question I asked last week at a more abstract level, and go beyond the Hillary v. Donald issue to consider a couple other examples. We’ll discuss selected news stories as well; see Program Notes, below, for a list of stories, etc., I plan to discuss.

Don't Let It Go 
People blamed the 2098 crash on free enterprise so blaming capitalism is not a good reason to vote for Clinton.
I’m voting for Trump because of immigration. If Clinton gets elected the country will be flooded with democratic voting immigrants.
Immigration is a democratic voter drive which objectivists refuse to admit.
If we had open immigration then half of Venezuela would come here. These are people who would rather eat their pets than vote out socialists. And look at what’s going on in Europe with Muslims.
Objectivists would rather embrace a rationalistic immigration policy than defend what’s left of our European culture.
Just give them copies of Atlas shrugged and human action when they cross the borders.
I also think trumps foreign policy is likely to be better. Us jntervention in MENA has destabilized the area leading to an Islamic invasion of Europe. I think trump sees the danger of this. He talked about the dangers of Islam when it was politically incorrect to do so.
Then why was Trump so irrational about Garland? Why is he now saying, about the wall, immigration, etc., that these ideas were “just suggestions”?
I haven’t followed his recent. Comments. As far as garland goes he didn’t think people should go out of their way to offend Muslims. Maybe he’s right maybe he’s wrong. The issue is Islamic immigration. There was no Islamic terrorism in the west prior to Islamic immigration.

Chavez’s and Maduro’s elections and re-elections were rife with fraud. Venezuelans have repeatedly tried voting the dictators out, without success. Opposition presidential candidates have been jailed or murdered. Do not talk about Venezuelans when you know nothing about their situation. And by the way, a lot of Venezuelans are already here–legally. I am one of them.
Venezuelans have already tried to vote the dictators out, unsuccessfully. Opposition presidential candidates have been either jailed or murdered. Do not discuss Venezuelans when you know nothing of their actual situation. And by the way, many Venezuelans are already here–legally. I am one of them. Some are even Objectivists.
But how does that change things ,? If we had open immigration as Brook Peikoff Biddle etc support our country would be flooded with leftists.
Binswanger is consistent. Any Muslim who wants to come here should be free t o come without any screening. Brook has said Muslim men respect women.
Taken in context of the article it’s not that bad. He’s always said its temporary and there would be exceptions.
But do you agree with mainstream objectivism that Islamic terrorism would end with a better foreign policy and is unrelated to immigration?
One prominent objectivist told me that if we nuked Saudi Arabia Muslims in the west would lose interest in terror. Do you believe this?
Trumps policy still seems better than Yaron Brooks who would flood the USA Israel and Europe with Muslims. He connects Islamic terrorism with immigration unlike the ARI
Amy. Do you agree with Brook that Israel should have open immigration?
I don’t think Israel (or we) should have completely open immigration. But I’m not sure that’s Brook’s view, either. I thought it was Binswanger who held that view.
I’ve read everything that Biddle Brook and Binswanger hAve written about immigration and they don’t exempt Israel.
They have also said opposition to immigration is based on racism. I believe Yaron has said Israel’s law of return is racist.
Amy. Do you agree with Brook and Binswanger that Israel has a racist immigration policy?
Amy. Do you think Israel should have open immigration of Ethiopian Christians ?
I don’t agree with Brook on this but at least he’s consistent.
