Abstract:: Jason Riley's Let Them In is a treasure trove of facts and analysis. The book covers many facets of the immigration debate, including economic protectionism, cultural assimilation, and national security.

The second is that an open immigration policy is compatible with free-market conservatism and homeland security” (p. 12).
