  1. Schrödinger’s Immigrant: The Convenient Villain for Every Failure by Lawson Akhigbe

    The immigrant today exists simultaneously as two incompatible creatures. On one hand, he is portrayed as a lazy welfare dependent draining public resources, crowding hospitals, filling council housing lists and surviving on benefits paid by hardworking natives. On the other hand, that same immigrant is somehow an unstoppable economic superhuman taking all the jobs, dominating industries, suppressing wages and outcompeting local workers in both skilled and unskilled sectors.

  2. Aa very timely, insightful article. I have linked to the free version - My family has been here since 1621. That is not what makes me American: Philip Bump.

A quarter of immigrants, then, had been here for at least 1 out of every 7 years that the U.S. has existed. archive.ph/AmU7D#selection-200 #democracy #immigrants #immigration #maga #politics #history #ancestry #citizenship #courts #law #presidents

  13. A quotation from Henry Commager

    We are shocked when we see educators, timid before criticism and confused about first principles, betray their trust. And we wonder what can be that "philosophy of education" which believes that young people can be trained to the duties of citizenship by wrapping their minds in cotton wool.

    Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
    Essay (1947-09), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 1, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168

While at present the bill is still just in committee, many are hoping it doesn't go further. More on the bill and my own thoughts in the video.

    The pause applies to people from 19 countries that were already subjected to a partial #TravelBan, placing further restrictions on immigration—a core feature of Trump's political platform.
