He’s clueless. I especially like the part where he quotes from a NY Times editorial encouraging unlimited immigration, but fails to read from the overwhelmingly negative (and information-filled) comments from NY Times readers.

I’d love to see one of those guys try to take on Schaeffer in a debate, but they’d never sign up for the predictable humiliation.

Open Borders folks do a disservice to their cause and otherwise respectable reputations when they reveal themselves to be completely willing to abandon any semblance of intellectual rigor or credibility when it comes to this particular issue. Who wants to associate with a movement full of stuff like that?
