How Do You Solve a Problem Like Venezuela? | National Review Venezuela isn’t going to want back all the Venezuelans who are in this country illegally, especially the gang-bangers.

"Border czar–designee Tom Homan is clearly the right guy to implement President-elect Donald Trump’s ambitious deportation plans. But there’s one obstacle that’s out of his control. What to do with all the Venezuelans he’s going to arrest?"

Apart from anything else, if/when there is an amnesty, part of it must be a ceremonial, public admission of guilt by the illegal aliens, an acknowledgement they are receiving an undeserved act of grace from the American people, followed by absolution. The sense of entitlement is a huge obstacle.

Jesse Singal: Bluesky Has a Death Threat Problem It was supposed to be a gentler, left-wing alternative to X. My grim experience proves that just isn’t the case.

Jesse Singal: Bluesky Has a Death Threat Problem www.thefp.com/p/jesse-sing... from all i can tell a group of radical anti-singalists are making up lies about him, but repeat the lie enuf and it becomes truth to a lot of the internet...

"The most basic thing to note about Trump’s threat, though, is that it’s the first time an official of the U.S. government — or a soon-to-be government official — has sounded appropriately outraged and harsh about an ongoing crime perpetrated against our fellow citizens."

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me four times. . . ."

If the immigration groups were willing to consider moving up the 245i date in exchange for, say, eliminating the Visa Lottery and fixing TVPRA and Flores, we might be able to make progress. No such luck.

‘White People’ Isn’t a Thing | National Review The idiotic racialism of Jamaal Bowman.

The Daniel Penny case didn’t turn out the way the Left’s racial obsessives — such as Jamaal Bowman — hoped.

This is in part because most Americans don’t see everything through the prism of race. | Rich Lowry bit.ly/3ZVvUD0

This is WaPo's idea of a columnist who "provides insight into the conservative movement"? There's no shame in being a liberal Democrat -- just don't pretend to have insights you lack.

The CHNV program (which allows inadmissible aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua & Venezuela schedule their illegal entries by air) is a shadow of its former self -- but why does it still exist at all?

“The argument we’re seeing now against a ‘mass deportation’ is, basically, once you get into the United States, you have the right to remain permanently...The other side needs to explain: Why should certain people be above the law?"

They're not exact parallels, but our client regime in Afghanistan couldn't sustain itself & collapsed unexpectedly overnight, & now the same with Iran/Russia's client regime in Syria. Neither is replaced by democracy, but successor regimes may be more suited to their societies, in good & bad ways.
