Once he starts waking up a little ... the rest will start making sense to him... Someone send him a MAGA hat in 6 months. He’s gonna be a deplorable soon.

Amazed they printed this. Good for him. Still bad for the NY Times, a zombie newspaper.
Maybe good for NYT...Think of the reach the article might have...Libs read NYT, and who knows, he may preach some long needed, much needed truth to the libs...

Until the left was bought off by big business in the 1990s, there were plenty of liberals who supported immigration restriction to help the environment and workers

A lot of the left is driven by, and funded by, the teachers’ unions (who are in turn funded by taxpayers); the pro-immigration stance came about to prevent shuttering of public schools due to lack of children. The whole funding mechanism for the Democratic Party itself would be in jeopardy.
Public school teachers are agents in every district, supported by the taxpayers they oppose on many issues.

They are trying to take the immigration issue away from Trump; it was probably the main reason he was elected.

It might prove that Terminal Liberal Sh*t-For-Brains Stupidity (TLSFBS) doesn’t have to be a lifelong disease.
Maybe.
Ain’t gonna hold my breath in the meantime...

Sorry, Jerry, but if you think immigration should be restricted, then you’re not a liberal, your a racist homophobic xenophobic White Nationalist who likes to torture children in cages and kick puppies.
To: BradyLS
Well, the author is still a big ol liberal. He just understands that unrestricted/illegal immigration keeps wages downand that aint in the interest of the working class he champions.
Partner, you hit it right on the nose of what is going on with the Illegal Immigration problems we have in this great country of ours.
We have around 50 million Illegal Aliens right now and they are taking jobs away from legal American citizens. This is wrong and it does keep wages down.

If youre an environmentalist....as many on the Left claim to be, how can you possibly support ever more overcrowding which puts an even greater strain on natural resources?Liberals are masters at doublethink. Overpopulation is bad - but only when westerners have children (in spite of the fact that most westerners are at or near zero population growth). To criticize overpopulation and overconsumption of resources in Third World countries would be "racist."
Similarly, industrial development and resulting pollution are bad when they happen in the US and other developed countries (never mind the fact that our sanitation, resource conservation, and pollution controls are light years ahead of the Third World's), but criticizing pollution and litter among Third World peoples would be "cultural hegemony."

The author is remains a liberal idiot, but he’s still far preferable to so-called “conservatives” who think that importing tens of millions of Mexicans, Central Americans, and other assorted slum riffraff is all wonderful.
