      Meh… I’m cynical. I think the Powers That Be in the Democrat Party realize they have overextended themselves and are preparing for a shift to the center. Having Fetterman take the lead also helps them try to resecure the rust belt cities…

        Possibly. But I have a sneaking suspicion that the [prevailing belief in Washington is that we will need these people to keep the economy growing and our social programs in place. That would explain why we've done essentially nothing about it for decades.

          And they are right, to a degree as well. We still need to maintain large scale immigration. The numbers need to be brought down a good bit, and we need to have better security and paths to citizenship while respecting the security of our borders.

            We could start by offering immediate citizenship to the staff and families of Taiwan-based TSMC - heck, pay relocation expenses.

                It would be smarter and cheaper to just move the population and its key resources here than to go to war over it.

                    Why take the land back?

                    It’s not going anywhere.

                          It does indeed. Way, way too much temptation.

                          Should we really look at it, I wonder how many examples we would see on Congresscritters who 'got lucky' om office.

                                          I wonder if his health issues made him decide to speak up about what he really believes? A major scare can push people to re-evaluate their lives.

                                          I was only joking
