Elizabeth Warren's immigration plan is morally serious, technocratically sound, (probably) legislatively doomed, and politically unwise. EricLevitz writes

Yes she plans. Photo: AP/Shutterstock The United States is a materially prosperous, physically large, and rapidly aging country with a centuries-long history of successfully assimilating immigrants. In a rational universe, the idea that America should expand legal immigration — and welcome a share of the world’s refugees proportionate to our nation’s size and resources — would be uncontroversial.

But we don’t live in an especially rational universe. Thus, the U.S. resettled just 22,491 refugees last year. And even before the Trump administration’s cuts, America was taking in fewer permanent residents on humanitarian grounds — including both refugees and asylees — than 14 other OECD nations, including countries much smaller and poorer than our own.

Warren calls for eliminating criminal penalties for people “entering the country without authorization” but would leave in place civil penalties for illegal border crossings. She also calls for separating law enforcement from immigration enforcement responsibilities, arguing that “combining these functions sows distrust and harms public safety.”

Biden in lead, Warren takes second in new pollingJoe Biden is leading the latest NBC News/WSJ poll, and Elizabeth Warren stands in second place. Also, 46 percent of African-American voters support Biden and Biden is also leading in the South Carolina Democratic primary. The panel discusses. Suspcious biased coverage at MSNBC. I think they want 4 more profitable years of Trump. That’s why I’m voting for Beto O’Rourke. You can’t buy him. Beto2020 I would love to know who is being polled and putting Biden out in front. It’s obvious to any informed active democrat that Biden has no chance against Trump, and his best attribute is offering Obama nostalgia. He brings back memories that aren’t even of him. Looks like the Democrats strategy of calling everyone who doesn't agree with them on every issue racist is losing it's zing.

Two Economists Fuel Democratic Debate Over How Far Left to GoWilliam Darity Jr. and Darrick Hamilton tout slavery reparations and guaranteed jobs to address the racial wealth gap. Their theories on ‘stratification economics’ have helped shape the rhetoric and platforms of several presidential candidates. We’ve (once again) found ourselves looking down the barrel of a recession after tax cuts. Wall St is overvalued, but we are printing more money to keep an economy going that breaks down every few years. At this point, far left economic policies seem to write themselves. The irony is non of these will be the nominee!
