1) The Best Way to Stop Illegal Immigration

We have decades of data proving that the biggest declines in illegal immigration happen when we have robust guest worker visa programs.

As the chart below shows, illegal crossings were cut to almost zero in the 1950s and early 1960s when we had the Bracero Program that allowed Mexicans and Central Americans to work seasonally in agricultural jobs.

We need an expanded visa program for these "guest workers" for farms, factory work, chicken, seafood processing plants, etc. These are jobs that for many decades have been done by hard-working immigrants - some legal and some illegal.

Assigning temporary visas for these foreign workers would be a lot smarter than workplace raids, which have rarely worked.

With nearly seven million job openings already and the pro-growth Trump tax, regulatory and energy policies, the demand for willing workers is likely to skyrocket over the next several years.

2) When It Absolutely, Positively Has To Be There Overnight

In many ways, Fred Smith - entrepreneur extraordinaire, innovator, and super patriot - at a time when we so needed patriots - was the Ben Franklin of our time.

He was rightfully proud of his time served as a United States Marine, serving in combat in Vietnam.

His FedEx revolution defied all the odds and expectations. We all know the story that at the Yale Business school he wrote a paper on how to build a global overnight package service and the professor laughed him out of the room.

The financing, the logistical expertise, the grit and gumption, audacity and stick-to-it-ism of pulling this off and building the mightiest transportation company across the globe is unimaginable.

Who else could have pulled it off?

He “absolutely, positively” masterminded one of the most memorable advertising slogans and campaigns in TV history.

He had a healthy contempt for big and bureaucratic government and often only half-joked that he was blessed with competing against one of the most incompetent bureaucracies ever invented: the U.S. Postal Service. FedEx’s on time arrival record was far superior to the Postal Service or any airline.

FedEx has more planes than any other enterprise in the world, other than the U.S. Air Force. It takes over scores of airports throughout the night. He used his own weather service, own air traffic control system, and his own security system because “the government isn’t reliable.”

He employed half a million Americans and made multi-millionaires out of many thousands of investors.

On a point of personal privilege: He was one of the very first donors to Unleash Prosperity and was always the first to send an unsolicited generous donation at the start of every year - always with an inspiring note of approval.

Even to the very end he hid from us all how sick he was. Just a few weeks ago he called us up bitching about the amount of money the Postal Service was losing and urging us to “get on this” with all the gusto of someone who was going to live 20 more years not 20 more days.

Every president since Reagan called on “Fred-ex” - as some of his friends called him - for expert advice in times of crisis.

Among his many patriotic acts to the nation, he kept FedEx running during those turbulent first six months of Covid when most every other business closed its doors. The nation panicked. Fred didn’t. He helped keep the U.S. economy from imploding and FedEx employees, of course, maintained an exemplary health record.

The nation and the planet seem somehow diminished.

4) A Tax Loophole that Puts America Last

Congress is looking for smart ways to offset its tax cut.

Here's an easy one. Eliminate a bizarro tax policy that rewards smoking (and consuming alcohol), tilts the tax system IN FAVOR of foreign production, and costs the federal government $12 billion in taxes owed. All at once!

The House tax bill closes this crazy "Excise Tax Loophole." But the Senate markup foolishly retains it.

Under this multi-billion-dollar tax scam, the U.S. government sends “refund” checks to foreign tobacco companies. These refunds are supposed to be offsets for excise taxes paid when cigarettes are imported into the United States. But in many cases the excise taxes are never collected. So the excise tax is lower on foreign than domestic cigarettes. ([link removed])

Many taxpayer advocacy groups have demanded that Congress end this quirky giveaway. As the analysts at Citizens Against Government Waste put it recently ([link removed]) : “tobacco companies are moving their manufacturing overseas to avoid paying the excise tax on cigarettes.”

The whole point of the excise tax is to discourage smoking and promote health. How dumb is this tax dodge?

The Senate should adopt the House reforms.

5) Ranked Choice Voting Could Create Chaos In New York's Mayoral Election

When New York City voters fill out ballots for Mayor on Tuesday they will rank up to five candidates by preference. If no candidate is the first choice of a majority of voters, this “ranked-choice” voting system will knock out 10 lower-placed candidates until only one is left with more than 50 percent support.

The system may produce a bizarre result. Betting markets give socialist Zohran Mamdani a one-in-three chance of winning because many voters may refuse to rank scandal-tarred front-runner Andrew Cuomo at all.

There are other problems. New York election officials will post initial results from the first round of voting late on Election Night. But preliminary elimination rounds won’t be released until a week later because late mail-in and provisional ballots must first be processed.

We can then expect WEEKLY updates, as more elimination rounds are held.

Election Day could become election month in New York with all the vote-buying and other shenanigans associated with such a drawn out process.

New York may prove our point that rank choice voting leads to electoral chaos.
