Outgoing US President Obama recently announced the discontinuation of the United States' "wet feet, dry feet" policy for Cubans. Here's a post from three years ago arguing for the continuation of the policy.

Immigration restrictionist Peter Brimelow has previously argued that post-1790 immigration accounts for only half of the US' current population. Hansjoerg Walther rebuts Brimelow, highlighting the long-term significance of immigration in shaping a nation's population.
Alexander Sager combines ideas from political philosophy and critical border studies to argue that bureaucratic domination is a particularly significant problem in immigration enforcement. And a free migration policy is the best way to deal with this problem.
Enoch Powell made history with his 1968 Rivers of Blood speech, predicting a huge increase in the UK's nonwhite population and national decline as a result.
Hansjoerg Walther argues that Powell's demographic projections were accurate but that anybody who calculated with care would get similar numbers. Therefore, we shouldn't give Powell undue credit or deferrence for deep insight into the future.
This is the first of many planned posts by Walther critiquing Chris Caldwell's book "Reflections on the Revolution in Europe".

"Christmas is traditionally a time both of “good will to all men,” and, falling at the end of the year, of quiet reflection.

Did the pilgrims have a right to migrate to the Americas?
"By what right did 100 English Puritans, remembered as “the Pilgrims,” arrive at Cape Cod late in the year in 1620 and establish a new settlement called Plymouth Plantation? None was needed. Or if you prefer, by the right over the earth which God granted to all mankind..."
Should the world open up its borders for Americans?
"Now, there could be problems with American immigrants. They might come for the welfare, they might not be compatible with the culture here and not understand our sense of humor, they might work too hard and hate six weeks of vacation, they might be „böse people“ 
“bad hombres”) who commit crimes (the homicide rate in the US is more than five or even ten (!) times the homicide rate in Germany), and a few of you are even terrorists (Ted Kaczynski, Charles Manson, Timothy McVeigh, I am looking at you). That’s why I would want to make a proposal which may look a little complicated, but which I think can handle all this."
Read the latest OB post:
"If you have open borders, does that mean that a right to asylum is superfluous? ...Most countries in the 19th century had open borders or something that at least came close. And many countries also had some right to asylum. But the meaning of the latter was.. different from how the term is understood today.."
