This is a bizarre way to handle the issue of Immigration. These numbers are stunningly high. If we were a normal country with a functioning Congress, we would sit down and deliberate over how to handle immigration, determining the number of immigrants that could meaningfully assimilate in the U.S. And then we would enforce our laws.
America's Institutions are crumbling. We can see it all around us, according to this recent Gallop poll:
Jonathan Haidt comments on one of the main causes of institutional decay: The failure of institutions to nurture and encourage free and vigorous speech resulting in the lack of viewpoint diversity:
America’s institutions were once strong, he says.
“By the mid to late 20th century, America had the best epistemic institutions in the world, epistemic meaning institutions that generate knowledge, like universities, research institutes, intelligence agencies.
“Social media comes in and makes us afraid of dissent. Because if you tell a joke, if you raise a question, if you even so much as tweet, a link to a study, an academic study, that questions an orthodoxy about race, or gender, you can be fired for that.
“When critics go silent, the institution gets stupid.”
Do I really need to open this post with an acknowledgment that in my opinion, Donald Trump is a despicable, dishonest, incompetent and narcissistic person for whom I did not vote? That said, can we agree that pundits should evaluate a person's behavior based on the behavior itself rather than basing it on their personal feelings for the person engaging in the conduct?
Biologist succinctly explains why gender ideologues keep harping on the alleged importance of intersex conditions. I've recently heard two different people I consider reasonably intelligent inject intersex conditions into a discussing to convince me 1) that there are more than two sexes and 2) that sex is a fluid spectrum.
[T]ransgenderism has nothing to do with being intersex. Gender ideologues are simply using intersex as a wedge to push the pseudoscientific "sex spectrum" in order to claim "male" and "female" are mere social constructs to justify people self-identifying as any sex they choose.

I would add that it's a very good thing, indeed, that nature does not care about your feelings.
