Translation: It’s a great deal for loose-borders lobby. It wil “facilitate asylum”–ie economic migration. (The brief Title 42 resurrection seems like a fig leaf to make it seem like the Dems are making big concessions.) https://t.co/HF7ke317k8

Concrete implication: Mass immigration of non-college workers isn’t solution to decline in labor-force participation-it’s a major cause of it. Exerts downward pressure on wages, lowering status more. Vicious cycle in which we give up on US workers, keep importing more to fill gap https://t.co/gfIYEJq2xG

Gauzy implication: Efforts to promote social equality –ie equal status –(through eg national service, public spaces etc) are not only good in themselves but also pro-growth. Might help solve gnawing economic problem 2/x https://t.co/9XXUQBOw5x

People seem to be relying on federal court to overturn an anti-majoritarian legislative decision on Bush v. Gore Equal Protection grounds. But how strong is an EP claim when the vote is explicitly non-binding (as decreed by state legislature under explicit Constitutional grant)?

The Reagan Amnesty was a disaster. Supposed to be amnesty in exchange for enforcement. The amnesty happened, The enforcement never did. Wound up with many millions more illegals.

The latter is actually my position: If we found out Biden’s on the take for 10% from Hunter’s access peddling, it wouldn’t make the top 20 problems with Biden. Insignificant compared with his border abdication.

FBI merely suggested spiking Hunter story. But under CW legal theory there’d be no 1st Amend. violation if FBI directly ORDERED the story throttled. It’s only Twitter’s speech rights at stake, see-and they willingly complied! Twitter tweeters got no rights https://t.co/mPKpCNKXrp
