| It's No Accident The Southern Border Is Collapsing, It's Intentional |

| [Federalist] A clip of comedian Louis C.K. on the Joe Rogan show has been circulating on X (formerly Twitter) this week in which he goes on and on about how opening up the southern border would be a good thing because Americans shouldn’t have such a high standard of living compared to the rest of the world, how poor people in other countries just want what Americans have, and how it’s not fair that we have so much. "It shouldn’t be so great here," he says. So open the border and let them pour in. It’s possible he’s joking, that it’s just a comedy bit he’s practicing. That’s what my friend Inez Stepman thinks. Get liberals to nod along in agreement and then expose the consequences of such an insane idea. You can judge for yourself: I don’t think it comes off as a joke but as an almost perfect distillation of globalist liberalism. Louis C.K. cannot fathom why Americans should have a say about who comes into their country and who does not. He clearly has no real allegiance to his country or countrymen, and is actually embarrassed by their prosperity — and presumably his own as well. There is nothing special about America, according to this view, and no reason the rest of the world should not enjoy her ill-gotten riches. Opening the border is the least we could do for the cause of justice. Whether it’s a joke or not, the substance of what Louis C.K. articulates is the logical endpoint of leftist ideology. It’s what the mainstream left actually believes — and the Biden administration has been actively working to accomplish at the southern border. |

| #5 Louis C.K. One of the legion of not at all, in any way funny "comedians." To people who pay money to see him, well, bless their hearts, as is said in the South. As to what Americans "deserve," our system seems to allow for a very confused "majority" to make those decisions. |

| #4 Americans shouldn’t have such a high standard of living compared to the rest of the world The great leveling. Collapse the market, reduce the value proposition, crush the achievers...building new wealth targets for the ruling class. |
