THIS ⬇️ is the real problem with #immigration. Simplify and modernize the process for LEGAL immigration and other related issues start to whither away at a rate that a wall can never achieve. #TrumpAddress #OvalOfficeAddress

Milton Friedman: “The Road to Serfdom was the first real exposition of why it was that socialism, with all its great ideals, almost inevitably led to totalitarianism.”

Green extremists often speak as though abundance is the disease, when in fact abundance is usually what makes environmental improvement possible.

A poor society burns what it can find and dumps what it cannot manage. A rich society can afford scrubbers, pipelines, wastewater treatment, research labs, and better rules.

In 2015, Pope Francis called on America to respect the dignity of immigrants seeking a better life. Marco Rubio wept.

Today, he meets Pope Leo XIV as the top diplomat for an administration whose deportation policies the pope has called cruel and inhumane.

[Scott Lincicome @scottlincicome]

We tried to warn them. Mass deportations aren't new in the US and always harm natives too. The research is clear & unequivocal: https://t.co/Y8Gz7BOZJl

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Florida is a prime testing ground for the experiment of mass deportation and its impact on the economy.

At least a couple hundred thousand people in the state lost work authorization and tens of thousand have been rounded up and deported. That likely played a role in the below.

A new citizen who said the oath yesterday is just as much a citizen as Tucker Carlson. There’s no two tiers in citizenship.

Buried in a paper on the local fiscal effects of immigration is a finding that neither high- nor low-skilled immigration increases per capita spending on local cops, jails, and courts. The authors were surprised until they saw what happened to crime rates...

“Open borders” didn’t cause this

[John Hood @JohnHoodNC]

Today’s wisdom from John Quincy Adams: America “stands forever, a light of admonition to the rulers of men, a light of salvation and redemption to the oppressed. So long as this planet shall be inhabited by human beings, so long as man shall be of social nature, so long as government shall be necessary to the great moral purposes of society, and so long as it shall be abused to the purposes of oppression, so long shall this Declaration hold out to the sovereign and to the subject the extent and the boundaries of their respective rights and duties, founded in the laws of nature, and of nature’s God.”

Ten years ago, Marco Rubio cried when Pope Francis called on America to respect the dignity of immigrants seeking a better life in the United States.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Trump and his cabinet have repeatedly described people who are living in the United States legally, working legally, residing with permission of the government under an official program passed by Congress, as "illegal aliens."

That says all you need to know about the rationale.

This and all the other corruption was not enough to keep her around

[Cato Institute @CatoInstitute]

DOJ lawyers must serve the Constitution, not the President. Cato's Dan Greenberg argues that Pam Bondi repeatedly flouted legal norms as AG. She engineered partisan loyalty tests for career attorneys, groundless prosecutions of Trump's political enemies, and attempts to shield her own office from ethics rules.

Illegal immigrants have paid about $3 trillion in taxes over the last 30 years and likely reduced deficits by $1.7 trillion, says Cato’s @David_J_Bier.

A Republican, Lori Chavez-DeRemer broke from the party on union issues. She was enraptured by the notion that Republicans could steal the Democrats’ lunchpails by kowtowing to union activists, writes @jackbutler4815
