Try the reality that illegal immigrants are routinely given free public housing by the U.S., based on the fact that they are uneducated, unskilled, and largely unemployable. Those are the criteria, and now importing poverty has never been easier. Shockingly, this comes as millions of poor Americans are out in the cold awaiting that housing that the original law was intended to help.
Thus, the tent cities, and by coincidence, the worst of these emerging shantytowns are in blue sanctuary cities loaded with illegal immigrants - Orange County, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, New York...Is there a connection? At a minimum, it's worth looking at. MONICA SHOWALTER
Jen Rubin spews tripe about Florida, forcing the WaPo to issue an embarrassing correction
Talk about stupid.
Jennifer Rubin wrote a column in the Washington Post, absurdly claiming that Florida was so badly run and so "cruel" its residents were fleeing, basing her entire article on this errant premise, and forcing the Washington Post to issue an embarrassing correction.
According to Fox News:
Rubin published the column Friday in which she claimed, "DeSantis likes to brag that more people are moving to Florida than ever. Not so fast. ‘An estimated 674,740 people reported that their permanent address changed from Florida to another state in 2021.’" Those numbers are wrong and the Post, in a correction on Saturday, admitting the column "mischaracterized" the stats.
She originally added, "’That’s more than any other state, including New York or California, the two states that have received the most attention for outbound migration during the pandemic,’ according to the American Community Survey released in June tracking state-by-state migration."
The statistic she cited came from some dingbat at Business Insider who mixed up the inbound numbers of Florida residents with the outbound numbers of Florida residents -- a pretty elementary error.
Business Insider had to correct itself the following day.
But Jen liked that first story better, so she cited that in her own column, going lemmings-like off the Business Insider cliff, and forcing the WaPo to run a correction -- which kind of scuppered the entire point of the piece. They actually should have pulled the column.
More humiliatingly, Rubin's error was first corrected by readers on Twitter, at least one of whom actually went into the statistics Rubin should have gone into and found the problem. The WaPo had to issue its correction afterwards -- and who knows if they would have, had the Twitter correction not been so loud and out there first.
What an embarrassment. It's not just that Rubin should have known better than to get her statistics from Business Insider (or any outlet full of cub reporters on their first jobs out of journalism school), instead of original sources. It's that intuitively, she should have been skeptical, as the preponderance of news stories do cite the tremendous success Florida has had in drawing residents, based on its low-tax, low-regulation, pro-family, pro-freedom policies, brought in by Florida's excellent governor, Ron DeSantis. She also throws in an attack against President Trump, or rather, his MAGA movement, for good measure. See, she's got this all worked out.
Jen Rubin read one piece from Business Insider and she instantly believed its silly claims because it said something negative about DeSantis and by extension, President Trump? What a gullible doofus!
What we have here is ideology destroying what should be a natural skepticism about weird statistics. When normal reporters run into one of those, they double-check, they look for an original source, as well as a second source; they go over how the statistic was put together.
Not so Jen Rubin -- and her leftist editors. They hear something bad about Ron DeSantis and jump right in to use whatever weird thing they just heard to attack him, pathetically covering themselves with the sludge of error -- and sometimes irredeemably so.
Nothing clouds a reporter's judgment quite like extreme prejudice and hate.
Now we see it in Jen Rubin, who is incapable of skepticism when the prospect of discrediting a Republican is put in front of her. That's doubly so for her editors, who should have fact-checked her and questioned her strange premise. And maybe one of them did -- and got overruled, knowing what I know about how newsrooms operate. That could have happened, too.
Bottom line here, the Post's research and credibility has been exposed as just a little skeezy with Rubin's kind of whopper.
What a bunch of fools.
A NATION UNRAVELS AND THE DEMOCRAT PARTY CAN'T SPEED IT UP ENOUGH
Resident Tells How California's Famous Beach Town Is Getting Unsafe
Many Democrats understand that the welfare checks for foreign children will encourage more illegal immigration, he said:
They know what’s going on. But they know that they can’t say what their true goal is, which is actual open borders with open, uncontrolled migration both ways. And this is a step toward getting rid of borders.
“It’s a globalist mindset and it welcomes anything that moves toward open borders,” he concluded. NEIL MUNRO
Who Really Benefits From Illegal Immigration? | Victor Davis Hanson.... OTHER THAN NAFTA JOE???
More than five million illegal aliens have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border since Joe Biden took office, according to a study from the Federation for American Immigration Reform. With some exceptions, these migrants tend to be low-skilled, poor, and come from countries where violence is normal and women and certain minorities are degraded. By importing millions of foreign nationals who come from countries with cultures and values that are diametrically opposed to ours, American leaders are setting the stage for exactly the kind of strife and turmoil that is occurring in France.

Study: More than 7-in-10 California Immigrant
Welfare
More than 7-in-10 households headed by immigrants in the state of California are on taxpayer-funded welfare, a new study reveals.
The latest Census Bureau data analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) finds that about 72 percent of households headed by noncitizens and immigrants use one or more forms of taxpayer-funded welfare programs in California — the number one immigrant-receiving state in the U.S.
Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of households headed by native-born Americans use welfare in California.
All four states with the largest foreign-born populations, including California, have extremely high use of welfare by immigrant households. In Texas, for example, nearly 70 percent of households headed by immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare. Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of native-born households in Texas are on welfare.
In New York and Florida, a majority of households headed by immigrants and noncitizens are on welfare. Overall, about 63 percent of immigrant households use welfare while only 35 percent of native-born households use welfare.
President Trump’s administration is looking to soon implement a policy that protects American taxpayers’ dollars from funding the mass importation of welfare-dependent foreign nationals by enforcing a “public charge” rule whereby legal immigrants would be less likely to secure a permanent residency in the U.S. if they have used any forms of welfare in the past, including using Obamacare, food stamps, and public housing.
The immigration controls would be a boon for American taxpayers in the form of an annual $57.4 billion tax cut — the amount taxpayers spend every year on paying for the welfare, crime, and schooling costs of the country’s mass importation of 1.5 million new, mostly low-skilled legal immigrants.
As Breitbart News reported, the majority of the more than 1.5 million foreign nationals entering the country every year use about 57 percent more food stamps than the average native-born American household. Overall, immigrant households consume 33 percent more cash welfare than American citizen households and 44 percent more in Medicaid dollars. This straining of public services by a booming 44 million foreign-born population translates to the average immigrant household costing American taxpayers $6,234 in federal welfare.

California approves ‘shocking’ policy giving weekly checks to migrants: Report
Ron DeSantis: ‘I’m Fully Prepared to Have a Florida-California Showdown’ if Newsom Replaces Biden
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he is “fully prepared to have a Florida-California showdown” if the Democrats replace President Joe Biden with Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) in the presidential election.
“So let me just end with a shallow question based on speculation: Do you think Biden will be the Democratic nominee?” Tucker Carlson asked DeSantis at the Blaze Media Summit on Friday.
DeSantis responded:
Honestly, I go back and forth because it’s an incumbent president, and unless he’s willing to step aside, I don’t think they can get him out of there. On the other hand, I’m fully prepared to have a Florida-California showdown and let the people choose what’s the better vision for the United States of America because I’m very confident that the freedom in Florida is what more people would choose rather than the public defecation on the streets of San Francisco.
He also spoke with Carlson about the recent influx of Californian residents into Florida under his governorship.
“So here’s the truth: When I became governor, and I was born and raised in Florida, I had never seen a California license plate in the state of Florida in my life. And all of a sudden, we start seeing California plates,” DeSantis said. “My supporters are like, ‘Uh oh, who are these people?’ Because, remember, I may have won by 20 points in November, but the Florida races were one percent. So if you bring in 50,000 Californians, 50,000 people from New York, all of a sudden, it could be a blue state.”
“We would have supporters go to supermarkets in like Palm Beach, fine every New York or New Jersey license plate, put a flyer in the windshield and say, do not vote down here the way they vote up there,” DeSantis explained. “But what ended up happening was, I think we drew people who believe what we were doing, it wasn’t just these were liberals who just wanted no state income tax. There may have been some of those, but I think most of these people said you know what? Florida is a free state. I’m not dealing with these lockdowns.”
