Greetings, Dear Reader,

Back’s up against the wall on my deadline, so let’s get after it.

HOW’D WE GET BACK TO 3/5ths A PERSON?

Perhaps the most unintentionally funny, and subtly vile, clip crossed my desk yesterday.

“Haitian family shares story of finding host home,” reads the chyron of Boston local news channel NBC10.

It’s a short news package from 2024, only two minutes long or so, one section of which went viral again. The story is about a Haitian immigrant couple who braved travel to the US, whose daughter became gravely ill after days of sleeping in transit areas, and the nice, old, upper-middle-class white lady named “Lisa” who saved them.

How nice. I’m certainly not one to look askance at charity. There should be more people like Lisa, frankly, especially among liberals. I can’t count how many man-on-the-street interviews I’ve seen in which pro-open borders liberals immediately fold the moment they’re asked to actually care for immigrants.

Good on Lisa, right? Well, hold on one second, because there’s one bit of copy that raised my eyebrows a bit.

“It’s really fun having them!” says Lisa. “There’s much prejudice against refugees mostly because people don’t know them.”

Then the reporter’s voiceover comes in while video shows “Wadande,” the Haitian mother in the family, pulling food out of the oven.

“Lisa says it’s like she has her own personal chef because Wadande loves cooking!”

Ah, indentured servitude! Really fun!

Perhaps I’m being cynical. It’s only right to try to help as much as........
