Those in the reality-based discussion about immigration have pointed out for years that the

It’s a WASHINGTON POST article... what else could you expect.

“Well, sometimes reality isn’t what you’d like it to be.”

Eat your own words, Jennifer. It’s going to be another l-o-n-g two and then f-o-u-r more years for you! You probably should just retire.

Oh, and eat a sandwich, Woman!

Fake WaPo conservative.

demonstrating that the progress in thwarting illegal entries was made under the George W. Bush and Obama administrations (which did not resort to child separations).

Why do we give these people any credibility at all by posting this trash?

the outflow of people along the southern border has topped the inflow

That's why we have negative illegal immigrants.

The media constantly lies to us. Obama most certainly resort to children being separated. Not sure about Bush but I bet he did also.

Ditzy airhead bimbo. Jenny needs to get out of the office more often. Maybe check in on reality every six months or so.

This article needs the vomit alert...

This dribble is what is foisted off by the Compost as ‘conservative’ thought by their ‘conservative’ columnist.

Well coming from a rock ribbed conservative like Jennifer Rubin I guess I HAVE to agree. Isn’t amazing what these drooling halfwits think we will accept as the emes?

and demonstrating that the progress in thwarting illegal entries was made under the George W. Bush and Obama administrations (which did not resort to child separations). Anti-immigrant zealots have maintained that with enforcement the numbers of illegal immigrants could be greatly reduced, leaving just those who really are part of American society and the American workforce. Well, they’re right - and we’re at that point now!

Well, Jennifer, since Bush and Obama did such a great job, and we're already "at the point" where illegal immigrant numbers are greatly reduced, I guess that means that we don't currently have millions of illegal squatters in this country? Oh...wait...the trouble for Jennifer is that reality disagrees with her op-ed - even official estimates by the INS/ICE put the number of illegals here at 11-12 million, which probably means at least double that number in fact.

I can see why Rubin is every liberal's favorite Republican talking head, since she so eagerly and thoroughly repeats the Democrats' talking points.

Another bitter faux Republican employed by the MSM.

Clearly the Bush and Obama administrations cooked the books as to illegal migrants. Both our roofer and our electrician were complaining years ago and said the same thing in 2016 that they couldn’t get English speaking help nor well trained help...President Trump is not to blame...he is speaking the truth and puts it bluntly which politicians do not want to hear.
