A few additional notes regarding George Hawley’s fascinating look at dissent within the right: Notwithstanding the Trump Ascendancy, his belief that moderate libertarianism-or conservatarianism, as some have dubbed it-will exert the greatest influence over mainstream conservatism in the years ahead holds some merit.

Update: A great account of the evening on Yahoo Sports. Those were not jubilant Texans waving their state flag last night at the Copa America, but ecstatic Chileans celebrating their nation’s victory over El Tri.

USA Today is reporting on a new strategy self-entitled immigration scofflaws are using to stay in this country. They exploit public sympathy and liberal news outlets to publicize their illicit immigration status and demand the right to stay in this country: Abdollahi’s parents immigrated to the U.S. from Iran on a student visa when...

The problem of birth tourism is one usually associated with the United States, although as the above Sun TV segment points out, it plagues Canada as well. The fact that both North American nations practice jus soli invites fraud and abuse, as has been pointed out on this website repeatedly. No one has been...
