It should not be the government’s prerogative to define and ensure immigrants’ “success” and assimilation. We have zero reason to be confident in the ability of politicians and bureaucrats to predict success, however defined.

If You Think You Can Do Better, Then Go Do It
Anytime you say “I can do better than X” where X equals a situation you’re currently a part of, that means one of the following things is true of you: you’re naive, you’re bluffing, or you’re selling yourself short.
Peaceful Coexistence is Possible
Instead of getting caught up in the minor differences between the two major political parties, focus on freedom. No one should be hurt or robbed or locked in a cage. No one deserves to be victimized by the state.
Budget-Think
In a world where process is invented as though it were bandages and antiseptic gel, budget-think is the stopgap, short term parent process. As a good, former bureaucrat, I learned long ago to address the shortest term effects with the longest term process.

Too many people treat the process of “finding what you love” or “following your passion” as if it’s some kind of golden ticket that exempts them from the otherwise normal human experience of self-doubt, temptation, stress, risk, and adversity.

Five Reasons to Consider Homeschooling Your Child

Here Comes the Next “Defense” Shakedown
Is Trump truly under the mistaken impression that US military might is ailing? Or is he mindlessly aping Ronald Reagan and hoping it brings in the re-election votes? Or perhaps something else entirely?
Against the Maternal State
In short, contemporary maternalistic government in the USA treats the entire population as children. Small wonder that so many adults resent such treatment and bridle against it.
The Collision of Two Irreversible Trends
The state huffing and puffing, harassing, demonizing and assaulting people, even outright state-sanctioned murder, has absolutely no chance of reversing or stopping this trend. You can sometimes temporarily scare someone into being obedient, but thuggery is not going to make voluntaryists magically believe in political “authority” again.
