Objectively Speaking

Before I start, let me point out that none of the arguments I advance below depends upon a bigoted view of Mexicans or Central Americans as inferior or naturally prone to crime — views that I do not hold. If you’re among the subset of Trumpists who subscribes to that view, or if you’re a leftist looking for a way to call a conservative racist, move on. You’ll find nothing here to support your nasty preconceptions.[More]
Ditto.

Members Only

Despite evidence that millions of Hispanics and immigrants could go uncounted, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority seemed ready Tuesday to uphold the Trump administration’s plan to inquire about U.S. citizenship on the 2020 census in a case that could affect American elections for the next decade.

And how are they and their birthright children gonna vote, "economic advisor to Donald Trump"?

If there is any kind of "technological skills shortage," as the claim by this "Freedom Works" apparatchik to provide cover for subsidized cheap labor is made, try looking at the welfare state: the one that provides individual incentives for not working or improving oneself, the "public education" racket and the multinationals that find it cheaper to bring in foreigners than to cultivate domestic talent.

This guy is The Swamp talking, part of an unholy alliance of neocons, libertarians, moderates, sellouts, Deep State kapos, and rope-selling capitalists.

I understand the unelected First Son-in-Law is about to make his case, at which point I expect Ivanka's Daddy to disappoint again those who elected him because of his promised agenda.
