Interesting book. Written with a general audience in mind. I think it would probably be fairly convincing to the average person on the issue of immigration.
It talks about magic dirt and the melting pot and how people don’t just change their culture and values when they move to a new place. It talks about how migration is really just warfare by other means as it results in a foreign people taking control of a nation and its resources. It has some interesting history talking about migration preceding the fall of Rome and the expansion of Islam through migration and war. It has an interesting, if short and simple, chapter arguing against free trade on nationalist grounds. I have a friend of mine I’d like to read that chapter just to see what he thinks of it. I’ve been growing more skeptical of completely free trade over the last year or so, but it’s an uneducated skepticism that hasn’t really read enough on the subject to defend itself.
