I happen to be pro-immigration and oppose Trump's trade and immigration policies which are anti-growth. There will be mixed effects since about 4% of the American population is unauthorized. They are part of aggregate demand which drives inflation but so can labor shortages.

Rubbish! I have tweeted this fact multiple times. Birthright citizenship was established by English common law. There was an exception for slaves in common law. There are cases in US law including US born children to aliens before the 14th Amendment, which removed the exception. https://t.co/Rs5R6X9cGb

Be skeptical of such claims. First of all, unauthorized aliens are not eligible for federal cash distributions. Most social benefit programs are off limits. There are some programs like SNAP, Medicaid, and public schools which are needs based and may involve state/local money. https://t.co/BPd7qyag2B

I don't get this Russian/Trumpkin obsession with trying to scapegoat Fauci for COVID-19. The pandemic began in Russian ally China, which denies the crackpot lab leak hypothesis, not the US. I guess this has to do with alleged US-sponsored research, but it's a stretch.

Trump's request for OPEC to cut oil prices is not only naïve (relevant funding for government expenditures), but counter-productive to American production: shale oil is expensive, and Saudi Arabia earlier attacked American oil by cutting prices for its cheaper-to-produce oil.

Trump, of course, is too economically illiterate to understand that cheap debt has its downside, i.e. artificially stimulating demand and stoking inflation. I suspect megalomaniac Trump will try to fire the Fed and replace them with his cronies. And the inflation will be his.

I'm not a fan of Brennan, but this is undeniably stupid on the part of RINO Felon Trump: he's playing petty partisan politics with national security.

A couple of Trumpkins were whining about the DC mayor's supposed slow response to Trump's pardons of DC killer cops. It's not obvious because POTUS doesn't have jurisdiction over most homicides. I had to search to find the case was prosecuted by a US Attorney. DC is not a state.

It goes to show how utterly stupid Trumpkins are in pleading for Trump to pardon the murderer of George Floyd. There is a bit of a nuance here: Chauvin's state murder trial was in Minnesota state court, and he is also guilty in 2 federal civil rights cases. (1/2)
