Bloomberg Calls Restricting Immigration "Insane"

2008_07_bloomms.jpgAs we know, Mayor Bloomberg really supports immigrants and immigration. The NY Sun reports the Mayor as saying the U.S. would be "committing mass suicide" by restricting immigration, "There are people around the world who want to come and create here and add jobs and excitement and innovation, and we're keeping them in Canada and in Europe and Asia and not letting them here." Ah, one of the many reason why he had to leave the Republican party!

Bloomberg made a statement the other day saying he sides with the Republican party because of the lack of support from the Democrats. He left the Republicans to be party neutral and become a reformer. That all backfired. Don't fool yourself believing he's a lib. His political philosophy is explicitly conservative.

I'm surprised he didn't say it was "unconscionable."
