The business lobbies that have been so successful in keeping our immigration laws from being enforced operate out of the same motives when they lobby against environmental laws: profit.

Spain and its Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero have favored an open-door immigration policy over the past several years. But with unemployment reaching 17.4 percent - the highest in the European Union - the nation is rethinking that policy.
