Rakesh Wadhwa to Speak at FreedomFest

From #TheFreedomFest
“Immigration policy is one of the biggest issues facing America today. With migrant caravans approaching the border, asylum-seeking families being separated, welfare and healthcare systems being overwhelmed, immigration laws being ignored, everyone agrees SOMETHING must be done. But what is the right answer?
In this electric and timely debate, Rakesh Wadhwa and Doug Casey will take the case for open borders and immigration policy, while Candace Owens and Wayne Allyn Root will advocate for Trump’s wall to secure our borders. Rich Lowry will wrangle these passionate voices on immigration as the moderator!”
Rakesh Wadhwa. Ever since, I was a school boy, I knew India was on the wrong path. Socialism was just not what we needed to get ahead. Government controlled our travel; government controlled our ability to buy and sell; and government controlled our freedom to move our money. My life has focused on the inherent rights people have. When I was in college, I never understood, what the governments meant by their "socialistic attitude". If people are free to buy, sell and move their capital themselves without any restrictions by state, then the welfare of people is inevitable & hence the countries they live in will become wealthy. The government has no right whatsoever, to point a finger at me or my business. I am not a revolutionary. I just want to light up my cigarette and not get nagged about it. I believe in non-interfering attitude to attain more.
