I didn’t realize that, despite all Biden’s pro-union bluster, “union membership dropped to just 10 percent in 2023,” a record low–coinciding with Biden’s illegal migrant surge. Sam Gompers wouldn’t have stood for it; UAW’s Shawn Fain is shrugging it off, says @JxhnBxnder … https://t.co/PPPdSO2qz6

Does mass immigration undercut labor unions. Yes, says the @CatoInstitute! That’s one of the reasons they like it. “We found that immigration reduced union density by 5.7 percentage points between 1980 and 2020, which accounted for 29.7 percent of the overall decline”… https://t.co/T42KnaaU4Q

Brooke Rollins seems like a disaster. Talks in language so meaningless it makes Kamala seem a model of precision. She’s Koch-connected like Trump’s other immigration weak reeds (eg Marc Short).

Note the reason there might be more jobs than this Labor Dept. revision reports is “government data may not fully reflect the effect of increased immigration, which has provided employers with a supply of needed workers” — i.e., the jobs are going to Biden’s migrants. https://t.co/mJb6tiVTBs

It should be possible to run a MYOB campaign, at least as a spouse. But then you should actually mind your own business, not advertise select parts of your personal life (including your romantic life!) or hold it up as a model. If you do that, you’re saying it’s our business, no? https://t.co/trMckdKChP
