The Clash Over Immigration, Part 5: Inside the 1960s Mosh Pit
In the Clash Over Immigration, Part 4, we examined the collision of the 1) Hart-Celler Act, 2) cancellation of the Bracero program, 3) birthright citizenship, and 4) powerful factions driven by competing, narrow self-interests.

It’s Not Government’s Business!
100 years ago the Federal Government got into the Poverty business. It was FDR Democrats’ bad answer for an economic depression that they made worse and worse.
The Left Doesn’t Understand; Reality isn’t Fungible
There’s a famous saying often attributed to Edmund Burke: “If you are not a liberal at 25, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative at 35 you have no brain.”
Racism: 2 of 4, Is All Racism Equal?
Have you noticed that many people are not affected by racism? One would think that if racism was indeed rampant, then anyone with that color of skin would be suffering from racism. Please note, there is only one race, with many colors. And how unfair is it to judge someone based on something they …
