In Canada, immigration is usually portrayed as a left-right issue, with the left in favor and the right against. In fact, the political right is deeply split on this sensitive subject. That s why rightwinger Peter Brimelow finds himself attacking his ideological soulmates as he dissects American immigration policy in his book Alien Nation.
Open, unselective immigration the prevailing policy in both Canada and the U.S. is a logical outgrowth of neoconservative ideology. Neoconservatives believe that market forces, not governments, should determine how many immigrants come to a country. The true believer wants to remove as much power as possible from government, including the power to control the nation s borders. He rejects the counter-argument that uncontrolled immigration is damaging to the national or collective interest. For him, there is no such thing as the collective interest, only individual interests.
