Two other virtues of Leonhardt’s piece: 1) Frankly identifies the shift of the left to an appeal geared to progressive college graduates–@RonBrownstein’s famed “Coalition of the Ascendant”–as a new Brahminism, not devoutly to be wished; and b) Gives Barbara Jordan her due. https://t.co/OIVhMKzjro

I hadn’t noticed that Secretary Blinken, in a big immigration talk at Rice on 10/3, admitted migrants come “to the United States to seek amnesty.” Maybe he misspoke and meant to say “asylum.” If not, glad to have agreement on this point. https://t.co/0ke6XsLAKk https://t.co/BXJoq9GKWH

Gee, it used to be the migrants came from one country at a time. Now it’s all of them at once! … Almost as if something changed in their common *destination* country — the US — to attract all of them at once. i.e.: Biden’s “Invitacion.” https://t.co/gj7Qe0aHcg
