‘Resolving border crisis requires increasing legal migration’
Benjamin Powell in the Las Vegas Sun
Simply cracking down on illegal immigration won’t resolve “our border difficulties,” says Benjamin Powell. The “root cause” behind record arrivals of undocumented migrants is “U.S. policy that essentially prohibits legal migration for most people.” Asylum seekers or those with family here have a shot, but low-skilled workers from places like Honduras and Venezuela seeking economic opportunities don’t. Giving “them a legal ‘line to get in'” must be part of any plan to end the crisis.

Children need stronger nutrition policies, and “better food.”

‘Forget the ticker-tape parade. Mike Johnson is no hero.’
Jennifer Rubin in The Washington Post
Everyone’s “gushing over House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.)” for finally bringing Ukraine aid to a vote, says Jennifer Rubin.
