For another Glazek type argument in the wild, see Phil Cohen's post in which he argues that we should accept immigrants that have criminal backgrounds *for the other nations safety*, https://familyinequality.wordpress.com/2024/09/29/you-know-whats-really-migrant-crime-trump-and-ice-and-people-who-know-better-should-explain-this-stuff/.
I realized only after I hit publish that this is also basically John Pfaff's argument — it's morally necessary to lower the incarceration rate, so we must release serious, violent offenders in order to do so.
IIRC I don't know if Pfaff would say "morally necessary", he definitely argued the necessary part but I don't remember anything as cost/benefit style as Glazek.
