      The only actual effective way to eliminate or at least drastically reduce illegal immigration is to make legal immigration easier, cheaper, and faster.

      Should still do UBI, though, with price controls to make sure that landlords and corporations don’t just eliminate its usefulness by price gouging.

    Most conservatives are socially minded … the only difference is that they want all those socially minded ideas to only apply to their particular ethnic or racial group and no one else. To them, every other racial group should serve their social agenda for their people’s benefit.
