The Immigration Hardliner Family Tree[2012]
Mother Jones ^ | March/April 2012 | Ian Gordon

Posted on 02/29/2016 9:39:24 PM PST by ObamahatesPACoal

The anti-immigration movement has come out swinging in the past several years, writing and proposing hundreds of restrictive state-level bills and berating a president who has deported more than a million people for not being tough enough. During this year's Republican presidential debates, candidates have peppered their arguments with plans for double-layer border fences, the theory of self-deportation, and even praise for Arizona's immigration crackdown.

This should come as no surprise, given the myriad connections among border hawk politicians, pundits, advocacy groups, PACs, foundations, and legal advisers.



TOPICS: Politics/Elections; US: Alabama
KEYWORDS: aliens; endorses; jeff; sessions; trump
Cruz has Tom Tancredo. Trump has Jeff Sessions & Kris Kobach.

Barletta seems like he'd be a Trump guy. Moderate but strong on immigration. Said he respected Trump. Said he will probably win.

Rand Paul & Mittens Romney are laughable additions to this picture.

Now draw the other map:

Soros -- Merkel -- Zuckerberg -- Rubio -- Most of the Dem Party.

“who has deported more than a million people for not being tough enough”

right, they were just sitting around making daisy chains and singing Simon and Garfunkel songs. the good news is, we are about a million lighter in our prison population and our roads, children and homes are a wee bit safer.

sniveling article; good chart, tho

In this case, the Bushes are the roots.
