Quote from: The Minsky Moment on November 13, 2025, 09:40:34 PMMost fascist countries did not call for a "Final Solution," that was a Nazi thing in particular.  But most fascist countries promoted racist ideologies in pursuit of their national "common community."

Fair enough.

QuoteIt is absolutely a fair reading to conclude that Vance is citing the Immigration Act of 1924 as a model; I don't see any other sensible to way to read it.  He is calling for "far less" legal immigration and explicitly citing that law as a model.

He could have called for immigration close to zero; he didn't.  As a matter of fact no Republican AFAIK has called for ditching the Green Card lottery, which was designed as the antithesis of 24.  "Far less" is not explicitly a return to 24.

Funny that you mention it because the administration just shut down registration for the lottery, claiming that "certain changes" were being made.
We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.
