Rasmussen poll found that elites encourage cheating with up to 70 percent thinking that it is alright in order to get the policies and laws they want. We are in a post everything world.

Immigration economics
I continue to believe there is a compelling story about how these illegal immigrants fund their journey.
Most seem to be poor. If they carry cash, they most certainly would get robbed.
I bet there are umbrella companies that shepard these people from inception until they cross the border, maybe beyond..
So the “coyote” movement is probably much pervasive than just crossing the border.
Thank you for all your great work!

Next time the republicans lose the presidency and have two senate runoffs, I’d suggest not running a commercial of a well-tended, blond-haired, blue-eyed soccer mom explaining how she couldn’t bring herself to vote for Trump and was now lamenting the very real possibility that the democrats might take control of the senate. It was a stupid ad and probably contributed to the low turnout as much if not more than anything Trump said. Please stop pretending that the republican party is some well-oiled machine and that every setback is due to Trump. It’s not. It’s tone-deaf, stupid and probably corrupt.
For me, I would add one thing to Victor’s list of reasons why President Trump’s poll numbers have risen. Anger at the intolerant left. For me, it is frustrating to listen to polished ‘limp wrist’ Republican speeches responding to leftist abuse. President Trump on the other hand, attacks like a predator. That endears me to him. I want the deep state actors, the Democrats, and the leftist billionaires who have engaged in criminality betraying us to be harshly punished; and to feel all of it. And I would not support anyone less aggressive.
I wholeheartedly agree with your “predator” comment. The Democrats always go for the jugular, while Republicans remain passive except for Trump. He knows how to get under their skin. A fighter.
I believe the open border has a lot to do with junk being left by the side of the road.
Russia has been harassing Finland at the mutual border so Finland did what a smart country would do.
This led to the Finnish parliament last year approving changes to the country’s border laws that allows Finland to shut down borders or limit the number of border crossing points during exceptional circumstances — such as a a hostile hybrid operation.
