Opponents of (NAFTA-Produced) Large-Scale Immigration

Quiddity has an interesting post linking together Paul Krugman's "North of the Border" column with a piece by Harold Myerson. Krugman sees little economic benefit from large-scale immigration and thinks both the president's guest worker plan and the immigration plan passed by the House are horrible ideas (in fact he calls the latter immoral). Myerson fits into the picture by noting how NAFTA has greatly increased the number of Mexicans coming to the US. It's a really interesting (if depressing) read. Plus ca change and all that. Check it out.
