You have to go down to the 2/18 posts to find it, but Virginia Postrel has some neat thoughts from correspondents on effects immigration might have. One is to creat ambassadors for the US. Here's Virginia:At a recent conference, I met a Guatemalan classical liberal academic who speculated that El Salvador is liberalizing more effecively than Guatemala because of the influence of Salvadoran immigrants to the U.S. One in four or five Salvadorans has spent time in the United States, including those who still live here. In Guatemala, the number is more like one in 10. That means, he said, that every family table in El Salvador has someone who knows things can be different, and that person usually particular clout because of his or her American income. Guatemala hasn't yet reached a critical mass of American-influenced migrants.
