• MEDIA: The Border Crisis Shouldn't Overshadow the Question of Legal Imm

    Morris Dees and $PLC certified deplorable, Mark Krikorian, for
    Rich Lowry's National Review on whether Susie Wiles ever believed
    that Ron and Casey DeSantis would convince David McIntosh's Club
    for Growth to run advertisements on Lachlan Murdoch's FoxNews.COM
    warning legacy American proles that Trump will betray them with
    comprehensive immigration reform legislation passed by the likes of
    Mike Johnson and Mitch McConnell so long as the Cheap Labor Lobby
    authors include the magic words: "merit-based": <URL:https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/the-border-catastrophe-shouldnt-overshadow-the-question-of-legal-immigration-levels/>
    | On the other hand, in the year before Covid hit, when the economy
    | was cooking with gas, Trump repeatedly said we should increase
    | immigration to provide workers to business. In his 2019 SOTU
    | address, he said, "I want people to come into our country in the
    | largest numbers ever, but they have to come in legally."
    |
    | When asked later about this by a reporter, he made clear that he
    | meant it: "Yes, because we need people in our country because our
    | unemployment numbers are so low."
    |
    | A year later, Mick Mulvaney, his chief of staff du jour, made the
    | same point at a private gathering in England: "We are desperate --
    | desperate -- for more people. . . . We need more immigrants."

    Will Trump nominate NASSCOM/America First Policy Institute's Chad
    Wolf to succeed Alejandro Mayorkas at DHS.GOV and will McConnell
    consent?

    I never voted for Paul Ryan to be speaker." - Thomas Massie <URL:https://twitter.com/RepThomasMassie/status/1629976827564380165>
