Federal agents encountered more than a quarter million illegal aliens at the border last month.

251,487. To be exact, the highest number ever recorded in US history.

And that is just the number that were detected. Many people are blaming Democrats,

who opened the border. Some are blaming the squishes, who let the Democrats get away with them.

But the Democrats are blaming the Republicans for noticing the problem. According to one Biden

administration official, quote, of course the numbers will be higher when Republican elected

officials, like smugglers, falsely proclaim the border is open because of a court order to

lift Title 42. In other words, the border is open, not because the Democrats opened it,

but because the Republicans pointed out that it's open. This is a weird sort of quantum politics

in which observing the political problem supposedly creates the political problem in the first place.

But the Libs make this kind of claim all the time. Democrats, for instance,

encourage men to identify as women, even though men cannot be women,

and even though men who think that they're women have all sorts of problems, depression,

anxiety, and they kill themselves at extremely high rates. But according to the Libs,

the reason that men who think they're women are depressed and suicidal has nothing to do with the

fact that they're not really women, has nothing to do with the problem itself. Rather, it only occurs

because conservatives observe that fact, and that apparently results in transphobia.

Another example, poor black people in the inner cities disproportionately do poorly in school,

and then don't graduate, or they do graduate, but without much of an education. And then often fail

to get good jobs and ascend to socioeconomic ladder. And according to Libs, the reason that that

group often doesn't learn very much in school has nothing to do with political, cultural, and

pedagogical failures, but rather occurs because the mean old conservatives observe that fact,
