More emphasis on point #2 please1 The press uses loss of coverage as if it were the only measure, but what if losing Medicaid doesn’t hurt health outcomes (vs., eg, going to ER)? There was that Oregon study! Cohn cites recent studies showing better mortality with coverage. https://t.co/NERGDVnY9I

Ever since mass immigration began anew in the late 20th century, advocates have pointed to the “Great Wave” to insist we could handle it. After all, the foreign-born share [was] still below the “Great Wave” peak. “We’ve been here before,” they would say. It’s no longer true.

In the late Richard Grenier’s funny, Waugh-esque (ie cancellable) novel, The Marrakesh One-Two, one Middle East character says “If you loved me, you’d give me an aircraft carrier.” I always thought it was funny, in a dada way, but now I’m beginning to understand it.

PS: The apparently established idea that the due process rights of aliens expand as they develop “ties” and “connections” with America seems misguided: a) imprecise b) it’s legislation on part of courts. Why give illegals who’ve been here, say, 5 or 10 years extra due process?

Here’s the primer we needed on immigration “due process.” Raises questions! a) The full d.p. for those who don’t qualify for “expedited removal” does seem too cumbersome to allow for deportation of, say, 5M Biden-era illegals in our lifetimes. Could Congress modify or expand
