I'm pretty sure Yeltsin is the reason Russia has Putin.

Yeltsin oversaw the dissolution of the ussr and brought capitalism to Russia, of course the west wanted him to be president of Russia. All he did was ask Bill for favors on the world stage (and got most of what he asked for).

It seems very likely that this uncharacteristically conservative move was calculated to produce these results. The house won't pass any pro immigration laws, so letting the SC strike this down would let the administration essentially leave things where they were and say "can't do anything else oh well", effectively removing the topic from election discourse and putting the ball firmly in the Republican court, who won't be able to get anything past the Senate.

Senegalese refugees comprise the bulk of the migrants, and all sorts of things like drought and commodity prices (due to the invasion Ukraine among other things) are driving their economy into the ground. In the end, climate change is definitely a non negligible component of the problem which is only going to get worse.

Deplatforming isn't denying anyone their freedom of speech unless that platform is owned by some part of the US Government. That dog needs to RTFM.
