He really is, isn’t he? At least a column a day bashing Trump. It’s like these guys get paid by the word.

They have been using the number 11,000,000 for years, as if millions and millions more haven’t slimed there way in over the years.

I heard him. There is an easy solution. Enforce the law.

Are you new to the immigration debate or just a Rubio fan?

DISQUALIFY MARCO RUBIO FOR LYING ABOUT AMNESTY IN SPANISH

The law is being enforced, but the problem is that it’s not enough in itself. Mexican immigration, which seems to be the only thing that concerns Trump, is way down, partly because it’s difficult for your average worker to get here (which has been a problem for the construction industry in the US) and partly because the economy has improved in parts of Mexico and there’s simply less need to emigrate.

In any case, a lot of the illegal immigration from Mexico is not Mexican, but people from all over the world brought in by criminal gangs of people smugglers. Mexico does try to keep them out, but it has a huge coastline and Cuba is busy serving as a waypoint for the people smugglers. Venezuela is another big entry point.

The problem is our weak federal laws. Some people can’t be legally deported when picked up by local law enforcement because their countries refuse them, many of them cannot be punished here because their countries don’t permit it, and then of course we have the idiotic “sanctuary cities,” which appear to have laws that are so strange that it’s hard to know where to begin.

So I think Rubio was right, and I think that what is really necessary is a revision of our immigration system from the ground up.

...Yet even on that very legitimate issue of safety, the available evidence suggests a criminal immigrant problem that is much smaller than Trump’s rhetoric....,

yea real small until it happens to you..and illegals come from hundreds of countries not just the narco violent Mexico..

idiots they shot themselves in the foot with their ink pens....

Wish there was a way to get the Editors of the The Washington Examiner to look at this...

“It’s also that mass illegal immigration just isn’t happening anymore”

I just escaped Mexifornia- it is thoroughly invaded and ruined. American students are sitting in classes that are taught in Spanish! The DC elite is acting just like Big Brother, lying about things we can see clearly.

“Mexicans are not the big problem. The largest number of illegals are the Chinese, ...”

I’m not hearing ‘press 2 for Mandarin’, or even 3.

Apparently they are at least smart enough to learn English, if what you are saying is true. But having just escaped Mexifornia, the Chinese didn’t ruin that state.

“I just hope it is not some massive federal contractor project ...”

If it’s handled as incompetently as healthcare.gov, it will cost 100s of billions and fall down the first day.

Actually the environmental impact study will take 5 years at least.

Operation Wetback was extremely successful- 25% were deported and the rest left on their own.
