ISIL pamphlet explores immigration, debunking myths like "immigrants take jobs from natives." "When all of the benefits are examined, it is clear that the best policy on immigration is an open door. Considering the many benefits open immigration has to offer, it is unfair that immigrants are being used as scapegoats for the government's many job-killing policies and economic interventions."

We should not be devising schemes and rationalizations for the restriction of immigration ... [L]et us take the part of the abolitionists of a hundred and fifty years ago, those who fought ... to champion freedom."
