Deep dives
President Biden announces sweeping new tariffs on Chinese imports
President Biden recently announced sweeping new tariffs on Chinese imports, aimed at strengthening national security and American manufacturing. This move involves raising tariffs on $18 billion worth of Chinese imports, including significant increases for electric vehicles, solar panels, semiconductors, steel, and aluminum products. The White House views these tariffs as essential for national security, aiming to reduce reliance on China and encourage domestic production of critical technologies.
High levels of foreign-born unemployment in the US under Biden's administration
A recent report from the Center for Immigration Studies revealed a concerning trend of high unemployment among recent immigrants to the United States under President Biden's administration. Only 46% of foreign-born individuals who arrived in 2022 or later were employed in early 2024. Additionally, the report highlighted that a mere 8% of the 2.5 million new arrivals actively sought employment, challenging the notion that heavy immigration positively impacts the US economy.
UNC Chapel Hill reallocates funding from DEI to campus police amid protests
UNC Chapel Hill's Board of Trustees made a unanimous decision to redirect $2.3 million in funding from the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) department to campus safety and police.

The university's Budget Committee vice chairman emphasized the need to prioritize law enforcement resources over DEI activities, citing concerns of divisiveness, exclusion, and operational disruptions caused by protests.
