Today, Joe Biden plans to announce his latest executive order: A mass amnesty for illegal aliens.
It's even worse than you think.
Let's take a look. 🧵 (1/8)
Biden's plan, euphemistically titled "Keeping American Families Together," will provide amnesty to more than half a million illegals.
It provides a path to permanent legal residency for 500,000 illegal aliens who are married to U.S. citizens, and 50,000 of their children. (2/8)
Biden's plan extends this amnesty via a "parole-in-place" policy — similar to the "humanitarian parole" scheme the administration has used to admit hundreds of thousands of Afghan and Ukrainian refugees.
It's essentially a backdoor around existing U.S. immigration law. (3/8)
The Biden campaign is still mouthing the same "free trade" dogmas that hollowed out the American heartland.
Trump wants to tax Americans less, and foreign producers more.
Biden wants to tax Americans more, and foreign producers less. It's that simple.
A quick thread. 🧵 (1/5)
Last year, @cpa_tradereform modeled the effects of Trump's proposed 10% universal tariff—the very policy that the Biden campaign is dead-set on opposing. The results:
- Real household incomes increase by $7,000
- 3.3 million new jobs created
- 3.61% real GDP growth

What's more, Trump's tariff plan would bring in $460.3 billion in new federal tax revenue a year, which would allow policymakers to reduce income taxes on American families or further invest in pro-growth tax credits. Higher tariffs on foreigners, lower taxes for Americans. (3/5)
"It's just two people getting married."
"They're not going to indoctrinate your kids."
"This doesn't affect you personally."
You've heard all these lines before.
But here's the thing: Every single conservative fear about gay marriage came true.
We'll show you. (1/14) 🧵
1: Gay marriage is a slippery slope.
For years, when conservatives worried that gay marriage could lead to things like polyamory or polygamy, the Left scoffed.
LGBT outlets like The Advocate regularly "debunked" the claim with stories like this: (2/14)
Here are some headlines from that very same outlet, just a few years later.
"Polyamory seems suddenly to be everywhere — and very present in the public consciousness," they reported just one year after they published the piece above.
Most people know it stands for "queer." But you might not know just how radical the term really is.
To understand the modern "LGBTQ" movement, we have to understand "queer theory"—a revolutionary movement born in the 1990s. (1/11)
"Queer," of course, was originally used as a pejorative for gays and lesbians. It was "reclaimed" as a positive identity in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with the creation of radical groups like Queer Nation.
But its meaning remains somewhat ambiguous to this day. (2/11)
The institutionalization of the term is generally traced back to the militant LGBT group Queer Nation, founded in New York in 1990.
Queer Nation's manifesto called for "a moratorium on straight marriage, on babies, on public displays of affection among the opposite sex." (3/11)
It's a familiar dance: The Left abuses its power, and the Right responds by feebly warning that someday, when the roles are reversed, their opponents will come to regret it.
But they rarely do — because Republicans almost never follow through.
A quick thread. 🧵 (1/10)
For more than a year now, conservatives have been angrily predicting that this time, the Left had really gone too far.
When the Left first launched its lawfare campaign against Trump last year, that was the Right's response: "This is going to come back to bite them." (2/10)
But recent history suggests that the Left has no reason to take the Right’s threats seriously — at least thus far.
"Precedents" always seem to bind the Right. They rarely, if ever, bind the Left.
This, from @willchamberlain, is exactly right: (3/10)
