Walter Williams on Illegal Immigration in the United States

walter williams

Walter E. Williams is a syndicated columnist and an author known for his libertarian views. Williams works as a professor at George Mason University.

On an article last May 18, 2010, Williams gave his sentiments regarding immigration in the United States. In the 7 billion people in the planet, would each and every individual have the God-given rights to live in the U.S.?, he asked.



Libertarianism is a theory in politics that gives maximization of liberty of an individual all through his/her thoughts and actions. Libertarians have viewpoints that ranges from minarchist (or a minimal state) to anarchist.

Williams pointed out that most people, and even libertarians, would agree that not everyone has the right to live in the U.S.

Williams said that there must be certain conditions in which a person must meet to live in the United States. But the question of whom the task of setting of the conditions would be given to emerged.

According to Williams, there are three ways that a person becomes an illegal immigrant: entering without authorization and/or inspection, staying inside the country or state beyond the authorized period after illegal means of entry or by violating the terms of legal entry.
