...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
just came out with a useful explainer on one of the voters’ top concerns: the Biden illegal-immigration surge.
All the news that’s fit to print . . . once it doesn’t matter for Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people,
white supremacy,
whiteanything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word
(Thomas) Nastyto the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...

David Leonhardt, the Gray Lady’s crack numbers guy, lays out key info (all of which has already been reported in The Post): "The immigration surge of the past few years has been the largest in US history," and, "Total net migration during the Biden administration is likely to exceed eight million people" — "a faster pace of arrivals than during any other period on record, including the peak years of Ellis Island traffic."
The result: "the share of the US population born in another country" hit "a new high," 15.2%, topping the 1890 figure of 14.8%.
And even: "the Biden administration’s policy appears to have been the biggest factor" in the surge. Really?
Leonhardt even names some "downsides, including the pressure on social services and increased competition for jobs," and how the surge will reduce "wage growth for Americans who did not attend college" — which is a win for higher-income folks who thus pay less for services.
