Shenanigans like HR 1 are the main reason I’m inclined to support a total ban on all immigration. I get it that immigrants contribute materially to our economy and make our culture more interesting. But HR 1 shows how immigration pollutes our politics in ways that undermine our institutions. This is the exact opposite of the job an open political system is supposed to perform.

Our own Mr. Price publishes today at American Thinker: “We are told that, thanks to Common Core, students will learn to think like mathematicians. This is the central nonsense.

Then, and only then, teachers might begin explaining the depths. That’s the natural sequence. Common Core violates it from the first day.”
