Few residents of this Wisconsin small city have seen a migrant but some are blaming Biden for an ‘invasion’ regardless and elsewhere in the state an influx of foreigners is not all it seems
Rhinelander is closer to the Arctic Circle than to Mexico, so it is no great surprise that few people in the small Wisconsin city have laid eyes on the foreign migrants Donald Trump claims are “invading” the country from across the US border 1,500 miles to the south.
But Jim Schuh, the manager of a local bakery, is nonetheless sure they are a major problem and he’s voting accordingly.
“We don’t see immigrants here but I have relatives all over the country and they see them,” he said. “That’s Biden. He’s responsible.”
Large numbers of voters in key swing states agree with Schuh, even in places where migrants are hard to find as they eye cities such as Chicago and New York struggling to cope with tens of thousands of refugees and other arrivals transported there by the governors of Texas and Florida.
Trump has been pushing fears overrecord levels of migrationhard in Wisconsin where the past two presidential elections have been decided by a margin of less than 1% of the vote. A Marquette law school poll last month found that two-thirds of Wisconsin voters agree that “the Biden administration’s border policies have created a crisis of uncontrolled illegal migration into the country”.

... evidence that Spain is in Western Europe? Or that throughout history, diversity in scientific ideas and the progress brought by said diversity have come in large part from language divides? You know, like, the entirety of medical history and modern-day biodiversity sciences? Or evidence that China surpasses the US and Germany in scientific production? Or how Spanish-language publications are extremely prevalent in many subjects, like linguistics, philosophy, social sciences, and humanities like archeology where they tend to surpass othern non Chinese/English speaking countries, and where Spain tends to have more importance than every country other than China, the US, and occasionally the UK?
It's easy to tell from the actual data that there's plenty of science in non-English languages, including Spanish, and many primarily Spanish-speaking countries have their own niches that they occupy (with Spain being one of the most influential forces in a lot of social sciences, humanities, and related subjects, and Argentina, Mexico, and Chile each especially pulling more than their weight in specific subjects).
