Re: Mind's Eye Brexit

In my earlier comments I focused on the populist immigrant issue. There is also, more importantly, the economic issue. No doubt in the short run things will be difficult for England. However, as one poster commented in the WSJ "Coupling one's future prospects, let along your national identity, to a system that has kicked the can full of Greek, Italian and Spanish bankruptcy down to road is more than pragmatic.    It is more like averting a gruesome and fatal disease." I'm an open trade, open borders guy generally but the decision to let Greece get away with lying their way into the EU set an extremely bad example and I totally get why Briton wants out. Ireland and Scotland will decide their own fate but I, for one, stand with England on this one. Good show Old Chaps. Good show. 24 June, Independance Day.

Surprised me. Didn't think they had the guts. May have been the chastisement from the American President about "the back of the queue" that put them over the edge to get the votes they needed.  His little pep talks seem always to have the opposite effect than the one he purports to want. Gun manufacturers LOVE IT when he talks about gun control. Sales go thru the roof. Will be interesting to see how Germany and France react in the coming weeks. Or maybe they'll push for more autonomy in regards border control to get England back. Interesting times; interesting times. 

On a domestic note I want more LEGAL immigration to the USA. Make it easier and cheaper. Allow for sponsoring from businesses and even individuals willing to take on responsibility. I've no doubt the vast majority of folks looking to come here are decent upright people looking for a better life. We make it harder for these people to make here so we get more of the other kind. Mostly young radicalized males. The evidence is overwhelming. What will it take? Why do Catholics and Jews still vote Democrat? Oh wait, never mind. With Trump as the other choice i totally get it. Guess I'm voting Libertarian again.
