Page "John Derbyshire" Paragraph 5

I should say that I think JPod is getting too hung up on the phrase " ethnic balance " as a codeword for all sorts of unlovely things.

It seems to me that if you're going to sit down and have any immigration policy at all, it's unavoidable that you're going to address the issue of ethnic balance in one way or another, no matter what you call it.

Ultimately, you have to choose where people come from if you have an immigration policy, even if you emphasize other factors like skills or family unification.

So you can either look at it directly or you can skirt around it.

But you can't avoid it.
