US Taxpayer Costs for Open Borders Are Just Beginning

Friday’s Washington Times had an eye-catching front-page photo, showing a bench of illegal alien boys all wearing brand new matching clothes — blue polo shirts, pants and slip-on shoes. Apparently the outfits they arrived in weren’t nice enough.

Taxpayers paid for the outfits, thanks to the generous Biden administration, and outgoing dollars for […]

California Students Win $53 Million in Lawsuit over Poor Reading Scores

Friday’s Los Angeles Times included a front-page article titled, “See Dick and Jane read poorly. See them win a lawsuit” that focused on the dysfunction of state schools that had worsened to the point that students had to sue the state to get attention. California did pony up $53 million which may help somewhat, but […]

New York Times Considers PragerU Media Approach

Arguably, one of the best things about Monday is the posting of a new PragerU video online. The brief films are aimed primarily at young people who are poorly served by modern education which seems reluctant to teach the vital historical component of how we got to where we are today.

Interestingly, Churchill biographer Andrew […]

Candidate Biden Pledges Huge Immigration Increase

Candidate Joe Biden is such a fascinating gaffe machine that sometimes his serious policy quotes get overlooked. He had one a few days ago when he was speaking to the Asian Latino Coalition, where he uttered the much-reported Bidenism, “Poor kids are just as bright as white kids.”

At the same event, he supported […]

Foreigner Invasion Is Felt in American Schools

In important ways, the focus on the open border as the story of illegal immigration is a major distraction. The foreigners pass through the American perimeter in a minute, but may stay for decades in towns and cities where their presence forces a rejiggering of budgets toward them and away from the needs of citizens.

Victor Davis Hanson Warns California Is the Third World

Victor Davis Hanson is a fifth-generation Fresno-area farmer as well as classicist and author, who has experienced the downward spiral of his home state firsthand. He wrote the book Mexifornia in 2003 that shined an early light on the competing values that were unraveling the state. See my review here — it’s been 16 years […]

What’s Happening in American Communities Where Illegal Alien Families Land?

There has been a surprising dearth of news stories about what happens to the local communities of America when crowds of unlawful foreigners arrive from crossing the open border and need social services.

In earlier mass intrusions, such as during Obama’s big welcome, there were news stories about the financial and other burdens on local […]

Border Patrol Projects Apprehension of a Million Illegal Aliens in 2019

The chaotic invasion now occurring on our southern border is disturbing to behold. It’s a reminder that some on the left hope to fundamentally change the culture of this nation using illegal immigration by urging Central Americans to leave home and claim asylum in the US.

Unlike illegal immigration in decades past when mostly […]

Sweden Is Swamped with Muslim Diversity; Government Ignores

Here’s a recent video report from Sweden, where its peace, prosperity and calm monoculture have been deeply battered by the influx of hostile muslims.

The problem started with misplaced generosity in 2013 when Sweden offered a blanket amnesty-welcome to ALL Syrians.

One rather startling symptom of muslim invasion is their use of grenades.

In Sweden’s […]

New York Times Claims Trump Exaggerates the MS-13 Threat

The elite paper front-paged an illustrated article on Friday asserting that while MS-13 gangsters are well known machete murderers, President Trump’s campaign against the Salvadoran gang is “out of proportion with the threat.”

Apparently the article’s point is that MS-13 is not equally spread throughout the nation (fortunately!), which is certainly true. But if […]

Fewer Foreign Students Attend US Colleges

The Associated Press reports that fewer foreigners are coming to the US to attend college, and the news organization apparently regards the decrease as a negative thing. Certainly many Californians would see having fewer foreign students on campus as a big plus, especially if there were also fewer out-of-staters — both groups that must pay […]

Pew Poll: Conservative Americans Think Universities Have Become a Negative Influence

On Thursday, Tucker Carlson opined briefly about a recent Pew poll that shows a growing divide regarding how Americans across the political divide think about our social institutions. Republicans in particular have come to believe the influence of universities on America has become harmful.

Tucker: it’s a big deal when a country’s […]
