Armey backs immigration as liberty not liability
House Majority Leader Dick Armey argues immigration strengthens the economy and liberty, opposing calls for curbs like a five year moratorium. He cites newcomers as workers who create jobs, keep prices down, and boost human talent, while warning against a national employment registry or ID card. He urges Republicans to reject immigration bans and embrace openness.
