The Hill's Daniel de Vise on whether Kevin McCarthy and Mitch
McConnell will deliver more scab workers for the Cheap Labor Lobby
during the lame duck: <URL:https://thehill.com/latino/3705688-the-gop-has-changed-on-immigration-it-may-never-change-back/>
| Today, immigration touches a cultural nerve with both parties. Yet,
| not long ago, the immigration debate was mostly about economics.
| Pro-labor Democrats feared undocumented immigrants might steal jobs
| and undercut salaries for Americans. Pro-business Republicans
| embraced immigrants for their ability to fill low-wage jobs. A
| parade of Republican presidents and candidates, from Ronald Reagan
| to George W. Bush to John McCain, ran on pro-immigration platforms.

Pedro Gonzalez on whether Prop 187 cost Pete Wilson's GOP California: <URL:https://www.theamericanconservative.com/restrictionisms-last-stand/>
| On November 8, 1994, left to deal with a crisis the federal
| government helped create, Californians passed Prop 187 with 59
| percent in favor. Some 52 percent of Asian and African American
| voters supported the measure, along with about a third of Latinos.
| Wilson subsequently secured reelection against Brown with 55 percent
| of the vote. Put another way, Prop 187 was more popular with
| Californians than the governor.

"That indeed seems to be the effect of "conspiracy" explanation: to
reclassify all opposition (e.g. Trump) as "controlled opposition"
which the rulers must have planted, and to paralyze resistance.
Ironically this is what Moldbug's "systemic" explanation does as
well." - Latino Bodybuilders for Hellenism <URL:https://twitter.com/LatinxPutler/status/1532761907106615296>
