President Trump has unabashedly lambasted the caravan of illegal immigrants who traveled from Honduras through Mexico to the U.S. border, ostensibly to seek asylum in America.
Trump’s bombast is precisely what this country needs to confront the mentality and ideology that celebrates illegal immigration.
A few weeks ago, I gave a talk at the University of California, Berkeley, about immigration policy. I talked about building a wall, limiting chain migration, and distinguishing between legal and illegal immigration. The audience, predominantly liberal, did not agree with much of what I had to say.
Though not surprised, I was dismayed by their enthusiasm for equating illegal immigration with virtue.
When a student asking a question noted that she is the daughter of an illegal immigrant, her classmates enthusiastically applauded.
In the end, the mentality and ideology that celebrates illegality is powerful and insidious. That is why it prevails on campuses like Berkeley, as well as on CNN, MSNBC, and numerous offices in the halls of Congress. To confront and defeat that mentality, something outlandish, something just as powerful is required.
For now, Trumpian tweets, boasts, and promises appear to be the most effective vehicle.

There needs to be a sweep , of all those that are cheering and waving flags on OUR SIDE of the border . Round them all up , in full view of the fence sitters and people peering through . Check out every single one and anyone with an immigration status issue should be arrested on the spot and hauled off . As for those on the border fence ; position LRADs - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Range_Acoustic_Device
If they don’t comply, shoot ‘em!
If they comply, put ‘em in a concentration camp until they agree to go back into Mexico!
This is an outright invasion!!
You don’t “arrest” invaders, you shoot them!!
This is not a question of “rights”, since they are surely NOT caring about crapping on YOUR rights, as long as they get all the FREE stuff that has been published that they WILL receive, AT YOUR TAXDOLLAR’S EXPENSE.
They don’t need to be shot . We have many devices for crowd control which could be deployed at this time . At the same same roundups of all the agent provocateurs on our side need to be taking place . Throughout California especially . Haul them in on Federal statutes . IGNORE the ACLU
No, no arrests. If you arrest them, now they have Habeas Corpus and they’re going to be stuck in the courts system. Then in a few years some judge or Democrat President will give them a green card.
Then need to be expelled with extreme prejudice.
True enough, the politicians that created this mess need to be shot.
“IGNORE the ACLU”. The best advice on so many fronts.
>>Then need to be expelled with extreme prejudice.<<
YES, Mr. Trump needs to man-up and just issue that order in defiance of both the do-nothing Congress and the weaponized Judiciary. Many of Trump’s most avid supporters are getting VERY impatient with the pussy-footing around regarding this obvious invasion by a foreign enemy.
GET THEM OUT OF OUR COUNTRY, MR. TRUMP!
Why doesn’t Mexico absorb them? They came through there first. Mexico thinks it is so right and good for us to take Mexicans in.
I thought a bean bag shotgun would be good for the fence sitters.
