"Immigration and Liberal Taboos" was a piece which made it into Abbey's collection, "One Life At A Time, Please", in 1988 I think. I pause to wonder about the claim that the New York Times requested that Abbey write an op-ed piece for them, and then rejected what he wrote, and that this is the outcome....it may be a fact, but it has fed into the Edward Abbey mythology as it were. The opinion of one reader, that Abbey was calling the bluff of the NYT in writing such a piece, also gives me pause.

Anyway, here is at least one on-line version of said op-ed composition.
