The National Review calls American Middle Class Tax Slaves “racist” for the 400th time for refusing to support open borders. So surprised!
What a jackass. Trump's main appeal to me was him shining a spotlight on H-1B abuses. I do not wish to be supported by the federal government, but I also do not want a federal government complicit in looking the other way as companies abuse this program to put American IT workers on the streets. And thankfully Trump's stance forced Cruz to re-evaluate his, as that was the main problem I had with Cruz.
What I got out of the article was immigration lowered actual wages, so it wasn’t exactly pro-immigration.
The opposite, in fact.
In before the first 'his uncle fell out of a watchtower at Auschwitz' canard.
Another Trump hit piece from a once-great magazine by an always pathetic piece of ordure.
Why can’t he say that Cruz is one of the Huckabee, Santorum boys?
This is getting ripped to shreds in the NR comments section.
Read the article linked. It’s actually AGAINST low-skill, low-income immigration.

Williamson is a disgrace. NR favors open borders and amnesty. Both parties have abandoned the American worker.
Williamson is a among the best political writers out there, of any political stripe. His prose is just brilliant.
He’s also a cuck who fails to understand that the involuntarily demographic transformation of America is an existential threat, not only to every single principle espoused by the National Review, “movement” conservatism, and indeed America herself.
You said...
“What I got out of the article was immigration lowered actual wages, so it wasn’t exactly pro-immigration.
The opposite, in fact.”
Unless I misread it, that’s what I got out of it, also
“The Buchanan boys are economically and socially frustrated white men “
..who our GOPe overlords are happily replacing with immigrants from the Third World.
Wow, what a condescending article.
This guy is basically saying to the American middle class:
"SCREW YOU!"
You missed Santorum endorsing Rubio? And Trey Gowdy doing it a month earlier? There’s your GOP-e boys.
Oddly, I think Christie throws to Cruz when he exits. He’s the sanest of the marginal candidates, not counting the photo with zero.
National Review seems to be parroting the GOPe’s contempt for its conservative base.
“NR favors open borders and amnesty. Both parties have abandoned the American worker.”
which is exactly why I dropped my subscription long ago.
Why? It’s the National Review. No need to read it beyond it’s initial insult to my demographic.
It is legal immigration more than illegal immigration that is destroying the American worker and depressing wages. Why are we bringing in 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants a year along with 640,000 guest workers annually when we have the lowest labor participation rates in 38 years. The immigrants are taking all the jobs while the native born are shut out. We have a surplus of labor.
I concur.
The mass immigration is designed to keep poor people poor and dependent on the Government — chiefly Appalachian Whites and blacks.
It’s so the blacks stay on the Democrat plantation and the RNC Elite get their lawns cut cheap and prompt service at the country club.

Imagine giving this advice to a Republican presidential candidate: What if you stopped calling yourself a conservative and instead just promised to make America great again?
What if you dropped all this leftover 19th-century piety about the free market and promised to fight the elites who were selling out American jobs?
What if you just stopped talking about reforming Medicare and Social Security and instead said that the elites were failing to deliver better healthcare at a reasonable price?
What if, instead of vainly talking about restoring the place of religion in society something that appeals only to a narrow slice of Middle America. You simply promised to restore the Middle American core, the economic and cultural losers of globalization to their rightful place in America?
What if you said you would re store them as the chief clients of the American state under your watch, being mindful of their interests when regulating the economy or negotiating trade deals?
