If you want to torture yourself it's a 1 hour podcast with Matty Yglesias and the third guest works at something called the American Immigration Council. Despite that name - he's another total turd worried about birth tourism.

Back in the day, I used to do a policy podcast at Vox with Matthew Yglesias, who is now the author of the excellent Substack newsletter Slow Boring, and Dara Lind, who’s now a senior fellow at the American Immigration Council.

it sure is rude when our neocolonial subjects want an imperial core life for their children

I have to wonder if Klein's ancestors who came to the US did so legally.

I don't know if the following is true but it feels 100% true...

THE WHAT? i must know his username

Is it really worth hemming and hawing about something that's probably barely an issue? Is it really the "other side" if it's some fringe-ass edge case shit? Are you just platforming and normalizing right wing obsessions?

Ask yourself, Ezra.

if I had a penny for every guy named "E. Klein" that pretends to be a liberal until they're even slightly pushed on the issue before dropping the act and adorning the same ideology as the Hitler youth, I'd have two pennies.

Oh, man. That made me laugh out loud but first there was a 2-3 second delay. Which made it even funnier.

yes, I also find it distasteful when humans can just move somewhere else because they want to be there.

how will the lords harvest their grain or fight their wars if the serfs can goest wherever they will?

Rules/laws serve a purpose, they're not ends
