The Biden administration opened that border on purpose and shipped people all over the country, wherever they wanted to go.

In fact, they put illegal migrants with no I.D.

onto commercial airplanes with regular passengers, who all have to have an impeccable national ID.

There is design behind it.

I don't have any other theory aside from this pathological passion for minorities and a weird notion that people who are non-white are superior.

I don't see any other reason for inviting so many people in, especially because, you know, on the one hand, the left talks about, oh, we need these people economically.

You know, we have this aging age structure and, you know, Social Security's imperiled and and Medicare costs too much and we need young people to fill out the workforce.

But then

you know they support family reunification which means these these people can bring in their parents right i mean so much for improving the age structure and furthermore the people that came in um illegally during the biden administration were largely um

unskilled or underskilled, poorly educated, these people, I mean, they've done the research, these people are going to be net usurpers of social resources over the course of their lifetimes.

So that is definitely not going to fix the public finances.

So you use the economic argument to open the border, but then you don't do the economically rational thing, which would be to let in high-skilled immigrants who are going to walk into jobs with substantial salaries.

They'll pay taxes, et cetera.

That makes sense.

But that's not what we're doing in either country.

Yeah, but that's assuming that if you have an intelligent opposition, they're not going to point out that GDP per capita has gone down.

And I think that's very accurate.

You know, that's, it's, it's, I mean,

The women in the book, I tried not to make caricatures.

Honestly, in comparison to the lunatics I see trying to interfere with ICE operations in the likes of Minneapolis, the mother in my book is really quite sedate and reasonable and rational and calm.
