We cannot afford Joe Biden or the flood of of illegal migrants who inevitably will become wards of the state . Printing more money will bring us to ruin. The United States is not the heart and soul of the world. We cannot take care of our own let alone the rest of the world, all the while being vilified by the others. Kumbaya will not cut it.

Our leaders are traitors and we can't seem to vote them out.

I stopped listening to NPR some time ago. It's weird because I don't remember consciously making that decision; I just found that it no longer resonated with me. What I don't understand is how intelligent folks can buy DEI and all of its assorted ideas (Intersectionality); these ideas are simply made up! They are antithetical to science; they are simplistic; and they do not allow for critical thinking. What is commonly known as "Wokeness" is similar to a cult. You believe all of it or else. Reminds me of when our liberal Church - filled with ex-Catholics and ex-Evangelicals - embraced EST. The place went crazy over it yet the members were intelligent PhD's. Thanks for this article. It's sad but needed.

Immigrants are a reflection of the insatiable demand for new workers by the U.S. job market and the continuous supply of workers coming in to fill those jobs.

When the supply of legal immigrants is kept artificially low by U.S. policy (it is), the remaining immigrants coming to help U.S. employers expand are reduced (needlessly) to coming in illegally.

The solution is simple. Increase the number of legal immigrants, in order to fully meet the demand for workers by U.S. employers, and the incentive for immigrants to enter the U.S. illegally will largely be eliminated.

With virtually all immigrant workers entering the nation legally, the border patrol will have plenty of available resources to focus successfully on the few illegals who are legitimate criminals entering the U.S. for nefarious reasons.

The immigration issue should not be so complicated. Legal immigration should be improved to attract the best people who will benefit the most from this country while contributing to our prosperity and diversity. This flow of illegals is destroying our country. It takes taxpayers money away from the people and the needs that exist already. Make it easier for legal immigration and impossible for illegal

Peter, you claim that "nobody" wants to solve this. I call BS! Trump will solve it if we only give him the chance! You may not like it, but it is unquestionably true!

Why are there no calls and international cries for countries to solve their local problems, locally. The resources remain to problem solve. Is it the corruption and greed of those in power that prevent solutions based problem solving. That includes the UN as well as other NGO's hungry to profit off of the misery index; these folks turn up the heat on such an index and profit nicely as a non-profit all while avoiding the needed hard work.

Nice. You're quite a lucky person to require merely a couple of spelling mistakes to be certain of your intellectual superiority to someone else, which is what it's all about, right. You mentioned "praying" for me. Are you a Christian? If so, was that a sincere expression or moral condescension, and how does one reconcile the imperative for compassion with making light of someone's childhood misfortunes? You are even nastier than your earlier posts suggested, which shows how correct I was all along in assessing your pretentiousness. I hope I spelled that right.

Peter Savodnik, thank you for this story. It is very different from your usual snarky political commentary that is exactly the same as that found in WaPo or NYT. Being a journalist suits you better than being a columnist.

Does anyone have good information on whether Jay Valentine is legitimate? He seems to be, and presents frightening scenarios of how election fraud in many forms in swing counties will result in a Biden victory. On his substack, he has videos showing voter rolls attached to addresses that are Walmarts, or warehouses, or the like. But he does not identify his past history. He says he has done anti-fraud work for eBay and several other companies that he mentions, but he does not identify the name of the company that he was associated with, to allow for verification. Does anyone have any information on him?

That's the best you've got? Spelling? How about responding to the issues? Not up for it? Let's not kid each other; you are not of a mind to beseech God to confer any blessings upon me. I hope I spelled that right!

Another op-ed piece. Biden-good, Trump-bad. Apparently now the revised history lesson is that if you remember how much Trump pushed for a wall, your memory is just mistaken.

I want to live in Japan by just showing up. Also, I want Japan to give me a free hotel room, food and a prepaid cash card. Also, if I don't like Tokyo I want a free bus (or Shinkansen) rid to Osaka or Kyoto or the big city of my choice. Also, they need to provide free school for my kids in English.

Even typing that I am smiling at how unbelievably dumb that sounds, how stupendously ridiculous. AND THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE USA RIGHT NOW.
