On The Immorality of Illegal Immigration

On The Immorality of Illegal Immigration by Rev. Patrick J. Bascio

The book is advertised in Chronicles, so I took a look at the publisher's page. What's his relationship with his bishop like?

From VDARE: Father Pat Bascio: A Rare (?) Immigration Enforcement Voice In The Catholic Clergy







Who would say that illegal immigration isn't wrong? But the bigger question is of land, and whether it is a common good and if nation-states can make a claim to so much of it, putting up an obstacle to the (supposed) right to travel/migrate. Yet, how many immigrants would be willing to move in order to start from scratch, though, as a farmer, as opposed to being a wage slave in an industrialized economy? (Is that a significant enough consideration when it comes to defining the right to migration?)
