<< Lester Brown is wrong on this question, but there is a lot of confusion

about it in the broader progressive movement. For example, many black

progressives have also taken the wrong position as well. At a Socialist

Scholars Conference of a couple of years ago, WBAI talk-show host Playthell

Benjamin supported the positions of FAIR, an anti-immigration group. We

should also keep in mind that many libertarian-oriented right-wingers, like

Jack Kemp and the late Julian Simon, are vehemantly pro-open borders.

>> I don't know in what sense P. Benjamin can be considered progressive. He wrote some particularly benighted pieces during the anti-Korean boycotts in Brooklyn a few years back in the Vill. Voice -- nasty, racist, xenophobic stuff that accords perfectly with any statements he may have made endorsing FAIR's anti-immigration views.
