More housing would be good but “build more housing” is not a useful or thoughtful response to an acute and immediate immigration crisis.

Ah, the Bronx Defenders, the public safety arsonists who filed an amicus brief urging SCOTUS to invalidate New York’s gun law in Bruen.

I’ve noticed the usual hardcore progressives don’t show up on threads on this topic to scold about how it’s a made-up problem.

This should happen. Hockey doesn’t allow checking until age 13.
