Lol this is very dumb and not unsurprising from our nation’s leading economic idiot. You know what happens when unemployment gets too close to 0? It overheats and inflation runs rampant. It’s actually healthy for there to be a degree of slack and in the labor market.

And where you and other starry eyed liberal types (until it directly inconveniences you and your finances at least) fail to realize is that someone who walks a couple thousand miles to America and is rejected for asylum is prooooobably going to cross our infamously porous border.

So confused now. Since I don’t know who Bret Stephens is or why he is supposed to be annoying, this is just baffling to me. I think the point that Stephens, who may be an asshole, is making, however, is a good one.

Seems racist.

Obviously I didn’t mean it literally. But we should be making sure these people are able to contribute and are not just becoming our problem.

It’s “taboo” to say but we really should be looking towards merit based immigration. I’d find it hard to fathom that even the most leftist leaning people would think it a good idea to just let all these people into the country just because they are seeking asylum.

Legitimate question - is there an expectation to just let a literal caravan of asylum seekers into the country no questions asked? I know this particular administration is particularly hostile to immigrants but it certainly seems like any government would be hesitant to allow this.

“(Although there’s a good chance that young college men who identify as Republicans in the age in which Donald Trump is the party’s standard bearer are probably racist.)”

I like how the guy in the Guy Fawkes mask thinks I’m the sucker in this situation.

You’re so mad! It’d be adorable if it weren’t so concerning.

Lol ok.

Hey buddy, there’s a difference between not being the media’s friend and NOT WANTING CLASSIFIED INFORMAFION LEAKED TO THE PUBLIC WHICH MIGHT COMPROMISE AMERICAN INTERESTS OR INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE.

Deadspin has been triggered out of watching football. The mediocre quarterback who won’t stand for the flag isn’t signed to a team and the league shows too much support for those who put their lives on the line every day for our country.

You’re a glass half empty person, aren’t you?

Very timely article thank you.
