It has come to this: The GOP, formerly the party of Lincoln and ostensibly the party of liberty and limited government, is being defined by clamors for a mass roundup and deportation of millions of human beings. To will an end is to will the means for the end, so the Republican clamors are also for the requisite expansion of government’s size and coercive powers.
Most of Donald Trump’s normally loquacious rivals are swaggeringly eager to confront Vladimir Putin but are too invertebrate — Lindsey Graham is an honorable exception — to voice robust disgust with Trump and the spirit of, the police measures necessary for and the cruelties that would accompany his policy. The policy is: “They’ve got to go.”
“They,” the approximately 11.3 million illegal immigrants (down from 12.2 million in 2007), have these attributes: Eighty-eight percent have been here at least five years. Of the 62 percent who have been here at least 10 years, about 45 percent own their own homes. About half have children who were born here and hence are citizens. Dara Lind of Vox reports that at least 4.5 million children who are citizens have at least one parent who is an illegal immigrant.
Trump evidently plans to deport almost 10 percent of California’s workers and 13 percent of that state’s K-12 students. He is, however, at his most Republican when he honors family values: He proposes to deport intact families, including children who are citizens. “We have to keep the families together,” he says, “but they have to go.” Trump would deport everyone, then “have an expedited way of getting them [“the good ones”; “when somebody is terrific”] back.” Big Brother government will identify the “good” and “terrific” from among the wretched refuse of other teeming shores.

Will’s wife is a political hack working for the Scott Walker campaign.
No bias against Trump, right Will?
George Will.....Who dat??? FNC....fire this moron!!!
Well Murtle, whatya think? Think Trump has a chance of that?
Well Wilber, we can certainly hope!
Does George Will publish his trash without a disclaimer that his wife is working for Scott Walker’s campaign?
Real conservatives love it.
Yet, these Bozos piss on Trump.
they try to piss on Trump. I think they are pissing on themselves and wonder why they feel wet and stinky
Welfare reform is an oxymoron when illegal aliens steal jobs from Americans down the bottom of the economic ladder.
Why the heck should we be more compassionate to people here illegally when we don’t grant native born American criminals such latitude?
I’m not for an American Animal Farm.
And I thought I couldn't like his plan any more.
The GOP folks are looking out for the illegals, the hispanics, the moderates, the independents, the muslims, the lobbyists, everyone except their base.
George graduated from a well-known high school in my hometown, a few years ahead of me. It’s a university lab school called “Uni High”. The overwhelming leaning among the kids there is even more leftist than even the university prof types.
Sure, a student there can lean to the right and be appreciative of the right-wing way of doing some things, but to survive in that school, one pretty much has to make peace and play nice with the greasy-haired liberals, day-in-and-day-out. It’s a very ingrained habit for George, I believe.

And California would then stop being in the bottom 1% of the nation in education and the traffic would clear up and the drought would end.
the GOPe says... “do something and it’s the end of the GOP”.
GOP voters say... “do nothing and it’s the end of the GOP”.
kinda of shows just how much at odds the GOPe and actual GOP voters are, huh?
George Will: WHAT would you do if 400 million people came here rather than the 30 million we have now?
Does George Will have the slightest idea how many humans want to leave the hellhole they’re living in - and come here?

Doom it away. Who cares anymore?
Haircut and bowtie, that’s the entire guy.
I have never figured out why people think, or thought, George Will was smart.
George doesn’t get it that we’re headed for doom if this doesn’t get fixed and oh, BTW, most legal first generation immigrants who have jobs want the border fixed too. They’ll vote for someone who keeps their wages from going down by stemming the tide of illegal immigration.
Scott Walker, call your office.
Well; I never did like baseball you dumb sh*t.
