Suppose that you are on a plane and the passenger sitting next to you tries to have a conversation with you. You would like to be nice but don’t want to disclose too much information about yourself (such as your name). He or she asks: “What do you do?” How would you answer this question?

1. On Ethics: Assume that you work for a New Zealand company exporting a container of kiwis to Azerbaijan or Haiti.

Other Americans suggest that illegal immigrants represent a growth engine in an economy with relatively little growth elsewhere. How would you participate in this debate?
