ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Naomi Schaefer Riley, my wife and Wall Street Journal colleague, came up with the idea for this book and spent many hours reading over and critiquing the manuscript. More important, Naomi created a home environment conducive to writing, which was no mean feat given that she gave birth to our first child within days of my signing the book contract. I thank her.
My other colleagues on The Wall Street Journal editorial page have also provided invaluable intellectual guidance and stimulation. I can’t overstate the satisfaction that derives from being part of a staff of professional journalists who put truth above popularity. A special thanks goes to Paul Gigot, Dan Henninger, and Melanie Kirkpatrick, whom I’ve had the pleasure to work with for the past fourteen years. I’d also like to thank John Fund and Steve Moore for being so selfless with sources and contacts.
A fuller understanding of migration and its consequences requires some familiarity with multiple disciplines, including economics, demography, sociology, statistics, political science, history, national security, and law. To that end,
