[Did I miss any of our commenters noting the evil Democrats led by Bumblebrain handing out Social Security cards (numbers) to millions of illegal aliens over the last four years? Most of these were also accompanied by drivers’ licenses and get-Medicare-free cards. All this activity to bolster Democrat voter ranks was made public by DOGE and reported on Fox News. In response the lamestream has broadcast the sound of silence. gjr]

Ah yes, The (self) Righteous Right…
Right-wing (Karin) Megyn Kelly criticized Pope Francis for one of the crusades of his papacy ― mercy for the world’s migrants ― just hours after his death Monday at age 88. (Watch the video below.)
On “The Megyn Kelly Show” she brought up his rebuttals of President Donald Trump’s anti-migrant missions during both terms. The pope once said something to the effect that building walls instead of bridges was not Christian and that mass deportations damage peoples’ dignity and make them vulnerable, she recalled. He also called mass deportation a “disgrace.”
Kelly accused the Catholic Church of transporting and finding housing for migrants “irrespective of the fact that they’re here illegally,” Kelly said. “And Pope Francis didn’t have to deal with that.”
“It’s caused a lot of us in the Catholic Church to wonder what exactly we’re donating toward on Sunday, it really does,” she added.
The former Fox News host went directly after the late church leader for “this tug-of-war going on between the pope’s messaging and what he wanted us to believe were deep Catholic teachings, and what we understand as Americans who are watching our citizens murdered in the streets by these people to be true.”
After her apparent revisiting of a debunked notion that migrants are responsible for a crime wave, she voiced her dismay at the pope’s attitude toward the president.
“You try to understand how he could so misunderstand” Trump and the reason why he is “so devoted to getting rid of these people who Pope Francis just looked at as vulnerable and defenseless.”
“Well you know who is vulnerable and defenseless?” Kelly asked rhetorically. “Laken Riley. … I wish I could have talked to the pontiff about it.”
Riley was murdered by a man who entered the country illegally, and the case became a focal point used by conservatives to promote widespread deportations.
Kelly called the late pontiff an “honorable man” but his immigration policies clearly rankled her.
Now Trump is waging war against the courts and journalists for not supporting his claims about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was deported to a dangerous El Salvador prison on the thin suspicion that he is a gang member despite a court order.

This opinion is from the very Conservative Cato Foundation
“Congress should see these green card applicants as a historic opportunity to unleash the economic potential of immigrants. Approving all existing applicants and increasing legal immigration nearly fivefold would shield the United States from many adverse consequences of demographic decline and reduce illegal immigration. Even with this seemingly massive increase in admissions, America’s immigrant population share would remain below the share in Canada, and US population and labor force growth would stay under their levels of the 1980s. Yet every day that passes without reform only makes finding a sensible solution to immigration more difficult. Congress should act now.”

“An estimated 7.6 million undocumented (or unauthorized) immigrants worked in the U.S. as of 2017 – down from a peak of 8.3 million in 2008 – accounting for nearly 5% of all U.S. workers.”

I was enjoying listening to some Rotary Club guy on KNCO this morning talking about a documentary they’re going to show.
‘Join or Die’ with some sort of Robert Putnam (Bowling Alone) angle.
What it made me consider was how truth is always (always) manipulated for a feelz angle.
From the Rotary Club page:
“See Louise about our Nevada City Rotary Table.
In this feature documentary, follow the half-century story of America’s civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam, whose groundbreaking “Bowling Alone” research into America’s decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy’s present crisis.
What makes democracy work?
Why is American democracy in crisis?
And, most importantly… What can we do about it?
Flanked by influential fans and scholars — from Hillary Clinton, Pete Buttigieg, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to Eddie Glaude Jr., Raj Chetty, and Priya Parker — as well as inspiring groups building community in neighborhoods across the country, join Bob as he explores three urgent civic questions: etc.”
also by Robert Putnam,
“Diversity does not produce ‘bad race relations’ or ethnically-defined group hostility, our findings suggest. Rather, inhabitants of diverse communities tend to withdraw from collective life, to distrust their neighbours, regardless of the colour of their skin, to withdraw even from close friends, to expect the worst from their community and its leaders, to volunteer less, give less to charity and work on community projects less often, to register to vote less, to agitate for social reform more , but have less faith that they can actually make a difference, and to huddle unhappily in front of the television. Note that this pattern encompasses attitudes and behavior, bridging and bonding social capital, public and private connections. Diversity, at least in the short run, seems to bring out the turtle in all of us.”
ie. diversity causes declines in social capital.
