Conflating these issues only serves to make the debate over U.S. immigration policy more toxic and stupid than it already is.
[Ed. Note: Yeah… no meaningful connection at all. Also completely unrelated is Canadian immigration policy. Conflating these issues only serves to make the debate over immigration policy more toxic and stupid. Yup. Uh huh. Believe that if you want to.]

In the middle of his statement responding to last weekend’s barbaric attacks in Israel, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis veered sideways into a non-sequitur about American immigration policy.
In a post to X (formerly known as Twitter), DeSantis said President Joe Biden ought to freeze all foreign aid flowing to Hamas, the terrorist group responsible for Saturday’s attacks that left more than 1,000 people dead, and freeze money “made available to Iran.” Then, DeSantis added, Biden must “immediately shut down America’s wide-open southern border to ensure we are in a position to better protect Americans here at home from these real threats.”
That is…quite the jump.
