Schrodinger's immigrant: driving down our wages with their cheap labor, and also buying up all of our houses.

Why should I care whether immigrants celebrate Thanksgiving or not?

But seriously though. I celebrate it with my family. Why should I care what other families do on that specific Thursday?
It’s how you end up with language like “paperwork American” or the idea that Thanksgiving turkey is some sort of natural ethno-national tradition that certain other groups are incapable of ever appreciating

I don't know how anyone who has even watched one episode of 90 Day Fiance could support anything less than open borders.

Tear gas is an abortifacient.
Hewson also says tear gas "doesn't harm people."

Loevy: "It really should be a last resort, would you agree?"

Hewson: "No."

Still thinking about Zohran’s full-throated defense of immigration and how long i’ve waited for it. No bullshit about border security or “legal” immigrants but just unabashed support for immigrants. How many people feel so much more seen today? I know I do. 1/

Democrats would gain SO MANY votes if they gave up on gun control!

Two reasons:

1) None of their policy ideas would actually cut down on gun deaths, and

2) Democrats do not even know basic terminology about guns, so they sound idiotic to gun owners everywhere.
The thing that working class R voters have actually told me they dislike most about Ds is gun control. I can see an argument for moderating on guns for electoral expedience (though curiously it's not on Yglesias's list), but Ds are absolutely, 100% correct about the real-world impact of gun control.
I think the American right is in fact correct about several things and it would be wise to concede that.

Food banks - while very important - are also an inefficient way to distribute food. They usually only have set hours, and their recipients often wait long hours to get food.

And what do you do if the local food bank is open during work hours? Difficult choices.
Some people waited in line up for 14 hours to receive a food box from a church giveaway.

500 people volunteered to help and they still ran out of food.

Remember for every one person a food bank feeds, SNAP feeds 9.

By turning off food assistance the regime is starving Americans.

Immigration becomes a political issue because demagogues need a group to blame.

This is why Democrats need to start making a POSITIVE case for immigration.
Interesting paper! When you ask people about the most important issue "facing the country," they often say immigration. But when you ask them about issues facing them personally, it doesn't crack the top 10.

This indicates that voters are reacting to media narratives, not their own experience.

Wow: @ajc.com's Lautaro Grinspan reports that in just one week in October, ICE spent nearly $950,000 on ads in Atlanta — more spending than in any other U.S. city.

That amount would've been enough to provide SNAP benefits for over 20,000 Atlantans every month.

Today I learned that Mel Gibson and his family moved from New York to Australia when he was 12 in order for his older brother to avoid the draft during the Vietnam War.

And now he's opposes immigration?

What a world!

I haven't seen anyone produce evidence that more illegal immigration here actually produced macro harmful results in terms of crime, economics or anything else. no, "a sense of lawelessness" doesn't count

I can't think of a better argument in support of international trade and immigration than "don't eat doner kebabs or curries, stick to British food instead!"
The British Right are just in total freefall into savagery at this point

Quick reminder that tear gas is an abortifacient.
We need to push for a federal ban on the use of tear gas on civilians and in civilian areas. It's unacceptable.

Just think about this, they dropped so much tear gas near the ICE center that a school had to close because it had become toxified by the residue and was unsafe for the kids.
