Jonette Christian: Biden’s immigration bill: Do we really need more workers?
Rewarding the illegal pipeline with multiple legalization schemes is a race to the bottom for all Americans, immigrant and native born, and a slap in the face to those employers and legal immigrants who played by the rules.

Cal Thomas: ‘Baghdad Bob’ rides again
Secretary Mayorkas is asking us to ignore what “our lying eyes” see. Television pictures show thousands of migrants crossing the border. Adding to the mess is the Biden administration’s authorization for ICE to spend $86 million to house migrants in American hotels. Will they also get hotel promotional points?

Leonard Pitts Jr.: The victims of this war don’t get a wall
No, they get only chyrons and newsprint, to go with smarmy platitudes of inaction, specious pieties worn smooth by repetition.

Crystal Ward: Praise for American Rescue Plan
Beware the “Republican Negative Propaganda” machine, which is spinning lies, diversions, division, deception, conspiracies and hate about the newly-passed American Rescue Plan. This bill provides additional relief to address the continued impact of COVID-19 on the economy, public health, state and local governments, individuals, businesses and COVID-19 distribution and vaccinations.

Kevin Landry: Concerns about Equality Act’s impact
I applaud Sen. Susan Collins’ recent decision to withdraw her co-sponsorship of the Equality Act. This bill will only give special rights to transgenders, which is ironic because the Constitution already provides protection for the rights of all Americans, regardless of their “identity group.” The biological definition of one’s sex would be replaced by one’s […]
