The rise in jobs recently has a less-than-happy explanation.
The surge in immigration led to a surge in the need for government and social assistance jobs at taxpayer expense. City and local governments are under financial strain.
The border was secure until this week when it suddenly needed a 'border bill.' The tolerance for the porous border is hard to explain. Often you hear that it stems from the agricultural industry's need for cheap labor.
That implies a terrific influence of a very small number of people willing to sacrifice a lot of elements of the culture. What about the criminals who come in? What about the 85 thousand unaccompanied minors? And there is a viable working voucher system, so why not use it? None of this makes sense.
So they offer a border bill because something has changed--no one knows what-- and the goal of the legislation is not to prevent illegal entry into the country, it is to speed up the processing of releasing the illegals into the country after they're here.
Biden recently said he had talked to former French President Mitterrand despite the fact he has been dead since 1996. Maybe Mitterrand knows what's going on.
How much nuttiness and insincerity can a culture take?
