The cultural and political consequences of a shocking demographic shift on the future of the American Heartland.
Vice President Kamala Harris, charged by President Biden with addressing the crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border, goes upstream with a strategy designed to address why people want to leave their home countries…
Some 400,000 immigrants who fled El Salvador, Nicaragua, Haiti and Sudan to evade disasters natural and man made may be sent back to their native lands after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit (Ramos v. Wolf) said a Trump administration decision to end their temporary protected status (TPS) is Constitutional.
Progressive Leftists can’t stop losing because they care more for ideological purity than they do for actual winning, according to David Leonhardt in the New York Times. In the wake of the apparent collapse of Bernie Sanders’ democratic-socialist campaign, are Americans “profoundly Progressive” but just haven’t found a candidate who inspires them? Or are they much more centrist than the panjandrums of statism proclaim?
The Supreme Court backs Trump plan to deny green cards to those who get public aid, in a move to prevent the Cloward-Piven collapse for which some Democrats yearn. That’s just one topic on this week’s Right Angle Lightning Round. Other short stories include… Why Democrats oppose the educational liberty offered by charter schools How […]
In September, President Trump told states by executive order that they can ban refugees, but as of now, not one state has taken him up on the offer. Trump capped refugee arrivals at 18,000 — down from an Obama administration high of 110,000.
New immigration rules from the Trump administration would deny green cards to more people under an existing law designed to keep an immigrant from becoming a “public charge”. Critics say this proves that President Trump is not merely anti-illegal immigration, but anti-immigrant (and likely racist). At a time when America has more jobs than applicants, if Trump tightens green card access to keep legal immigrants off the dole, is he cutting off the best source of new labor and of future proud Americans?
A manifesto posted by the El Paso shooter echoes “invasion” rhetoric used by conservative media figures like Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Tucker Carlson, Pat Buchanan, Laura Ingraham and other FoxNews commentators — as well as by President Trump — to refer to illegal immigration.
President Trump launches his 2020 White House run as he leaks about an upcoming series of I.C.E. deportation raids on Twitter. Did he do it to bolster his base because he still hasn’t built the wall? Did the president jeopardize the effectiveness of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement round up by alerting illegal aliens, perhaps risking the lives of federal agents?
Despite his opponents’ narrative that President Trump is anti-immigrant, he presides over huge growth in new citizens and approval of citizenship applications, including those of asylum seekers and refugees. Will Trump’s base of xenophobes and immigrant-haters abandon him because more foreigners are becoming citizens?
The entire Progressive Socialist argument seems primed for collapse as Populist revolts continue to sweep on country after another. Will Conservatives shake off the constraints of their own terminology, and reclaim the high moral ground of free markets and individual liberty in time to save the world?
Progressives sue to stop Trump administration from asking about citizenship in 2020 Census. Should the Supreme Court stop the government from causing an “undercount” as some immigrants dodge the national survey to avoid scrutiny.
President Donald Trump declares a national emergency to stop what he calls an armed invasion. Democrats, and more than 13 states attorneys general, say it’s unconstitutional. How else can Trump get what he promised the American people?
Former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw sparks a Twitter storm when he says Latinos should try more to assimilate. Brokaw apologizes with multiple Tweets to quell outrage from Progressives. Bill Whittle shows what happens when Leftist speech codes boomerang on their makers.
