MGB:_DACA should not exist as a separate program, simply allow any young person to apply for a student or H-1B visa regardless of their current legality. Of course, if you do that, chain migration will make everyone legal rather quickly as their parents take advantage of their status as they move toward citizenship. The other option is to simply open the borders, which would stop coyote trafficking. The reason that employers like undocumented workers is that they can’t protest wage theft or unsafe conditions. The right-wing likes the status quo, including right to work, because it allows virtual slavery, which scratches their reactionary itch.

Michael, abortion is not an issue unless someone introduces a bill to change the status quo. It is time to attack the view that Roe can or should be overturned rather than relying on the pluralistic position of not legislating sexual morality. Also, if Catholic politicians are going to hide behind Dignitas Humanae they should mention it by name.

It would be too much to ask Dolan to acknowledge the anti-war/anti-capitalist positions King adopted later in life. There is still work to be done. Lots of it.

While illegal, releasing secrets was necessary. What Manning and Assange did that was wrong was not scrubbing the data to make sure no one would be subject to reprisal. Of course, those that are would be stopped on the border by Trump. Chelsea should not start at Senate unless she has deep pockets. She should start with Montgomery County Council At-Large. We need one more progressive to run and she would likely get the nod. Unless she has something on Ben, running against him his grandiose, although starting big may quickly end her political career, which may be a good thing.
