Like Okies/1932 except there's a border.

the following from a related twitter thread by Noah Smith speaks to one of my long-time favorite rants in real life. How if Catholics worldwide would just quit following the preaching of Pope Paul VI's stupid heretical theories about birth control, living standards would go up in a lot of places even with lousy leaders still in control. And more people would have time for spiritual pursuits and taking better care of the family they have, and spreading love, where they now reside, instead of breeding like wild cattle desperate for food, sending the progeny off to fend not just for themselves but sending remittances
P.S. Here's a great American heroine who doesn't get near enough credit for the increase in prosperity and power of the the U.S. in the 20th century. Birth control is fundamental to the perpetuation of the species in a humane and "Christian" way. More so than like, antibiotics. Too many children = misery, starvation, crime, death, destruction, and all kinds of cruelty due to survival of the fittest.The Chinese knew, learned from hard experience.

The Caravan Is Real (his point: Dems and the left need to take it seriously as a real, not imagined problem, especially as timing of related events might very well influence our election)

Also in cars, frightening.....wait...
So 5--10 thousands. Trump is kicking out 1/2 million Haitians, Africans and Central Americans who have been here up to 15 years on special visas, in addition to cutting immigration 40k or so. The birth rate in the US is plummeting.
At 1/4 our population, Germany took in a million refugees from George W. Bush's Great Adventure in the Middle East. There will of course be more to come as climate change affects nations already barely making it, on the edge.Ranting about it and inciting mobs with fear ain't gonna stop people who are desperate.

Lowry's message for democrats is that the democrats shouldn't act like the strawman he and other republicans have created to attack the democrats. It's just a continuation of the same old strawman argument. Virtually all democrats want to control the border. I know of no democrat that advocates for an open border. Time and time again virtually all democrats have voted to increase border spending and have compromised in the attempt to get a comprehensive immigration bill. No compromise has ever been enough for republicans because democrats want a path to citizenship for dreamers and those who have been in the country for years as part of that comprehensive immigration bill. Republicans lie and claim democrats don't care about border security.

Anyone else remember Reagan's fear mongering about Sandanistas just a day's drive or so from our southern border?
