West Texas readers confront immigration with debate on a new Cato Institute National Immigration Forum report. It argues immigrants pay more in taxes over a lifetime than benefits received, yet impose local costs via schooling and local aid. The piece calls for faster assimilation and warns critics’ rhetoric may deter immigration.

Black leadership critique from Thomas Sowell column
Thomas Sowell criticizes what he calls weak black leadership and argues that leaders exploit black communities for political gain. He cites Obamacare vouchers, political opposition, and the influence of unions and the NEA while condemning a pervasive sense of grievance and dependence among young blacks. Sowell, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, urges personal responsibility and education over reliance on government handouts.
