On the genius of Hunter’s scheme:
“President Biden really did not have to ask: Hunter Biden had nothing to sell but influence. All President Biden had to do to facilitate such schemes was to be accessible — to allow his family to deliver face-to-face meetings and photo ops. ” https://t.co/xN9k1ucz0T

McCormick will probably say his proposal applied only to skilled visas-not unskilled H-2A (agricultural) or H-2B (non-agricultural) visas. But he could’ve said that, no? Overall, the paper ducks issue of restricting unskilled immigration, which seems telling.

PA Sen candidate David McCormick on immigration:

“The [U.S.] could abandon numerical caps on visas and green cards or replace them with a standards-based model that welcomes all who meet certain criteria.”
