Well, Horowitz is wrong. His argument relies on false equivalency. It's nonsense to say that there is no oppression here as evidenced by people trying to enter the country illegally. They may be more oppressed in their native country and the lesser of two evils is preferable.


By your logic Millionaires live in poverty. Because there are Billionaires. The "oppressed" people in America would be Kangs in Haiti.

Nope. I'm saying that his argument is not sound. He's equating the oppression in Haiti to oppression in the U.S. and using that to justify a faulty conclusion.

His argument is flawed much like the one below:
1) Organisms with wings can fly
2) Penguins have wings
3) Thus, penguins can fly
