They have easily the coolest Confederate monument.
They really did future proof it from ever being removed.

Brutalist architecture is Marxist. It must be removed and torn down nationwide.

Before Hart-Celler in 1965 our nation's immigration system was severely restrictive with varying national quotas. Immigrants from many countries were outright banned. It was almost exclusively Europeans because the men before us wanted to preserve our own ethnic homogeneity, demographics, culture and social cohesion. They prioritized our nation and the economic interests of American workers instead of the feelings of weak men and cheap foreign labor.
The last few decades of third-world mass immigration has not been in our nation's interest.

Politicians make immigration decisions on what gets them elected — not what is in the best interest of the nation.

They don’t teach that from 1920-1970, the US had severely restricted immigration…
In those 50 years we won WW2, became a global economic and military superpower, created a booming economy, a thriving middle class and a strong common culture. The America everyone talks about.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

That water clarity is an engineering decision, and the math behind it is wilder than the video.
Roman aqueducts ran on gravity alone. No pumps, no pressure systems. Engineers carved channels with a gradient so shallow it borders on absurd. The Pont du Gard in southern France drops 2.5 centimeters over 275 meters. That's roughly the thickness of a coin over the length of three football fields. They surveyed that accuracy with plumb lines and wooden leveling instruments.
The clarity you're seeing is a direct product of flow velocity. Too steep and the water erodes the channel walls, picks up sediment, turns brown. Too flat and it stagnates. Roman engineers targeted a slope of about 20 centimeters per kilometer, which kept the water moving fast enough to stay fresh but slow enough to stay clear. Before the water reached the city, it passed through multi-chamber settling tanks where velocity dropped near zero. Suspended particles sank. Clean water flowed out the top into the next chamber. Repeat three or four times.
Pliny specified the minimum slope in writing. Vitruvius published the exact mortar ratio for hydraulic cement: one part lime to two parts volcanic ash for underwater work. The pozzolana from Pozzuoli reacted with water to form a calcium-aluminum-silicate compound that actually gets stronger the longer it sits submerged. Modern concrete degrades in water. Roman concrete bonds with it.
Scale the whole system and it gets harder to process. Eleven aqueducts fed Rome at its peak. Combined output: roughly 1 million cubic meters of water per day. That works out to about 250 gallons per person for a city of one million. Modern New York delivers about 125 gallons per person per day. Ancient Rome had access to double the per capita water supply of the largest city in the United States, running entirely on slope and stone.
The Trevi Fountain in Rome is still fed by one of them. Two thousand years, same source, same gravity, same water.

This article shows exactly what the incentive structure for illegal aliens should look like.
Stay? You’ll be broke and miserable.
Walk into an ICE office and ask to be deported? You’ll get a free flight home and a self-deportation bonus.

This is exactly what many legal immigrants have been trying to explain.
Forcing students, researchers, physicians, engineers, entrepreneurs, and workers to leave the United States during green card processing would create enormous instability for people who already followed every legal rule and built lives here in good faith.
Combined with the #USCISpause, these policies are already causing job loss, frozen work authorization, family separation, financial hardship, and deep uncertainty for countless lawful immigrants contributing to America’s economy, universities, hospitals, and research institutions.
A strong immigration system should attract and retain talent, not push it away.

Ami Bera, M.D.@RepBera
I strongly oppose the Trump administration’s disruptive decision to require many students, temporary visa holders, and other individuals seeking green cards to leave the United States and return to their home countries while their applications are processed. This policy creates unnecessary fear and uncertainty for families, workers, and employers who are following the law. The Administration disregards the fact that many individuals seeking permanent residency are here legally and waiting for their cases to move through an already backlogged immigration system. America has long benefited from attracting top researchers, doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, and innovators through our legal immigration system and worker visa programs. Forcing these individuals to leave the United States during the green card process will deprive our country of their innovation, their tax contributions, and the many ways they strengthen our economy and communities. As the son of Indian immigrants, I know firsthand that our nation is strengthened by people who come here legally, work hard, and contribute to our communities. We should be reducing processing delays and modernizing our immigration system, not creating additional barriers for people who are following the rules. I support legal challenges to this policy and expect the courts to halt its implementation.

The 2,700 year history of the United States begins with Romulus killing Remus on the banks of the Tiber; China was still ruled by steppe nomads when the Wright Brothers invented the airplane.
