In this episode of New Ideal Live, Onkar Ghate and Agustina Vergara Cid criticize various pro-immigration arguments and discuss how they undermine a proper moral defense of immigration.







Among the topics covered:









* How conventional pro-immigration arguments are based on altruism and collectivism;







* How altruism leads to the infantilization of refugees and failure to advocate for economic migrants;







* How diversity quotas perpetuate racism in the name of fighting it;







* How the “economic case” for immigration reduces immigrants to servants;







* The false assumption that the interests of Americans and immigrants are inherently at odds;







* How anti-immigrant advocates have set the terms of the immigration debate;







* How to think about the claim that pro-immigration advocates are seeking to dilute American values.
