Trump’s war on immigrants is hurting Social Security
This article notes: “Immigration is a net plus for Social Security. Because immigrants are younger, on average, than other Americans, they will contribute to Social Security for decades. Ironically, undocumented workers contribute even more. They are prohibited from receiving Social Security, even when they can prove that they have contributed. The Social Security Administration has estimated that undocumented workers pay billions of dollars to these programs each year but earn no benefits.”
Thus, fewer immigrants will mean less money for Social Security.

Covers: Understand Your Man
“Understand Your Man” was released by Johnny Cash in 1964.
There’s a great cover by Dwight Yoakam, complete with horns, on a Cash tribute album.
Covers: Dim Lights, Thick Smoke (And Loud, Loud Music)
“Dim Lights, Thick Smoke (And Loud, Loud Music)” was written by “Joe Maphis, Rose Lee Maphis and Max Fidler. It was originally recorded in December 1952 by the bluegrass duo Flatt & Scruggs, and later released by Joe & Rose Lee Maphis in 1953 as a single.”
Covers include versions by the Flying Burrito Brothers (recorded in 1969 but released later), Dwight Yoakam (2013) and John Prine and Amanda Shires (2016).
I saw Yoakam, Lucinda Williams, and Steve Earle perform it together as the final song on their LSD tour show on June 19, 2018. It was more country and less rock than Yoakam’s solo version.

Republicans’ views of college have turned much more negative
This article notes “A majority of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents (58%) now say that colleges and universities have a negative effect on the country, up from 45% last year. By contrast, most Democrats and Democratic leaners (72%) say colleges and universities have a positive effect, which is little changed from recent years.”
Unauthorized immigration is still far below historic levels
