I saw this BS yesterday and spent about ten minutes trying to imagine how they sat in some 'bubble' and invented the term 'newcomers' out of the Biden White House.
I suggested to my brother....we, being citizens....would logically be 'oldcomers' or 'old-timers', but that really doesn't fit.
I would imagine some news media folks sat there and conversed with Biden team and told them....'aliens' or 'illegals' conveys negatives. 'Newcomers'? Well, it conveys new people (not strangers).
So I pondered upon this. In rural Alabama, 1970s....there was always some hyped-up positive feelings about new people moving in, or hearing about some family from Ohio....having arrived in the community. In some ways....the Ohio folks were like French-people....from just so FAR off.
The fact that Biden's team being just awful unconnected to reality or the nation itself? Well....after a while...you get this impression. In some ways, you get the impression they attended some college, and after four years....left with less intelligence than they had on day one.
The news guys accepting this BS and repeating it? Yeah, he/she looks pretty stupid.
The one odd thing being different from 1970s Alabama? Well...we'd usually visit the newcomers...offering up a cake....maybe giving some advice on local churches, and give the typical warnings about tornados, snakes and NCAA football. We didn't attempt to hand the newcomer a $10,000 VISA card, or hand them $25,000 in hotel or meal coverage.
Whoever is running in November as the Democratic contender (it won't be Joe)....has a serious problem in explaining newcomer status to the public.

We moved about around quite a bit since my father was in the Army. I remember the "Welcome Wagon, an organization sponsoring a service in which newcomers in an area are given information about the community, gifts, and sample products of local merchants.
