Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, Matthew Yglesias, author of “One Billion Americans: The Case for Thinking Bigger” and co-founder of Vox, joins Host Ben Domenech to discuss how the United States can maintain and preserve its streak of American exceptionalism through common sense solutions like: supporting families, building more housing, more transportation, fixing welfare and welcoming immigrants.

Yglesias sounds more like a cartoon character than anybody I’ve heard on a Ricochet podcast before.
Whether he actually is or not, Domenech comes across as an immigration advocate. One reason I oppose mass immigration is that immigrants tend to join the looting party: in the US, the Democrats. Immigration advocates simply gloss over the political impact of immigration.
Yglesias also talks about how America is uniquely capable of assimilating immigrants. The question is, with public education in the hands of the Left, is this still true; or are immigrants imbued with hatred of America and become another factor working against it.
