Foreign born employment increased [1], while native born employment actually decreased [2]. My wife combined the graphics [3]. The axes are in thousands of persons, so we lost 4 million native jobs and gained 4.2 million foreign born jobs.

More reasonable would be to explain the grocery prices will likely never come back down but we can increase workers' wages through certain policies. Biden's policy of opening the border to undocumented labor is not a policy that I

They are a corporate party, just like the democrats. Supporting secure borders is not far right. Republicans have support of every race, they are not racist despite the media repeating that they are. Trump is very hesitant about getting inv

250k (recorded border patrol contacts) came across in December 2023 (peak), about 55k this last August. It is usually fewer then a million per year but still a significant number of people. Bad policies in 2023 led to an absolute flood. Tha

What is weird to me about her proposal is that they talk about 3m homes but that is the normal number of housing starts in 4 years. Do they mean they will double it or are they just giving tax incentives for the expected home construction s

As someone who wants higher density, I see very little progress of this happening. Voters consistently vote against it. The one exception is California state has passed some good laws around ADUs and parking minimums. People will keep votin

I am very pro capitalism, but as a worker under capitalism it is very clear that immigration benefits corporations. Why do you think the impacts of immigration on American workers are not discussed by media? My conclusion is that discussing

Windows system call numbers aren't stable. It is done through their system libraries. So rather than invoking a syscall number as you do on Linux, if you want your code to be portable you import the DLL with that functionality and call

I think it would go the other way where you use coverage to guide reinforcement. Crank the temperature up to increase variation and you would probably produce a model that could approximate the file format you were targeting.
