The Border As An Attractive Nuisance By Mark Krikorian The American Conservative, September 28, 2021 Excerpt: If you don’t put a fence around your swimming pool, and a kid falls in, you can be held liable.

Confusion Reigns in Administration’s Response to ‘Del Rio’ By Andrew Arthur Thousands of Haitians have been reportedly released into the United States and the federal government cannot even report an accurate count of how many have been detained. Senate Parliamentarian Blocks Amnesty in Democrats’ Reconciliation Bill By Andrew Arthur If congressional Democrats want to pass a widescale amnesty with a huge price tag, they will likely have to do it the old-fashioned way — through committee hearings and votes, and bruising floor debates. They will likely find it is less popular than the D.C. echo-chamber believes. For now, reconciliation is off the table, and likely will stay that way. WaPo Doesn’t Notice that Congress Is in Favor of Limited Immigration By David North For the last 100 years, the U.S. Congress has placed upper limits on many types of immigration.
