Donald Trump’s Fantasy of Mass Deportation Is Political Poison For The GOP by CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER August 20, 2015

“This was not a subject that was on anybody’s mind until I brought it up at my announcement.” — Donald Trump, on immigration, Republican debate, August 6 Not on anyone’s mind? For years, immigration has been the subject of near-constant, often bitter argument within the GOP. But it is true that Trump has brought the debate to a new place — first, with his announcement speech, about whether Mexican migrants are really rapists, and now with the somewhat more nuanced Trump plan. Much of it — visa tracking, E-Verify, withholding funds from sanctuary cities — predates Trump. Even building the Great Wall is not particularly new. (I, for one, have been advocating that in this space since 2006.) Dominating the discussion, however, are his two policy innovations: (a) abolition of birthright citizenship and (b) mass deportation

...“Democrats have opened our borders to all manner of horrific Third World violence, crime, and disease. The GOP has supported and endorsed this vile activity every single step of the way. Trump has tapped into the fury of the American people over the unrelenting anti-American NWO push of our paid employees in government. Trump could win this on this one issue alone. Americans are tired of being betrayed by their government on both sides of the aisle.”...

Mass deportations of the VOLUNTARY kind is HIGHLY doable and quite realistic. Go after remittances to Mexico, for one. E-verify ENFORCEMENT is another. This is so easy it’s laughable. Not that difficult to force them to VOLUNTARILY deport themselves to their cozy jobs at Ford, Nabisco, blah blah blah..

In 1978, Krauthammer moved to Washington, D.C., to direct planning in psychiatric research under the Carter administration.[1] He began contributing articles about politics to The New Republic and in 1980 served as a speech writer to vice president Walter Mondale.[1]

Krauthammer’s other awards include the People for the American Way’s First Amendment Award...

Krauthammer is a member of the Chess Journalists of America[18] and the Council on Foreign Relations.[19]

Krouthammer is not slick enough to understand we got 30+ years of lip services while the politicians have been intentionally flooding America.

The MSM media folks really seem dumb.

The Kraut sounds like Pauline Kaehl: “Gee I don’t know anyone who likes this guy Trump.”
I love the metallic smell of CINO fear in the small hours. Go get your shine box, Chuck.

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER IS OBSOLETE!

He has passed his “expiration date” and long since passed his “best by” date. He’s as irrelevant as his appearance is old and dusty.

Illegal Immigrants Leaving Arizona Over New Law

...Arizona’s sweeping immigration bill allows police to arrest illegal immigrant day laborers seeking work on the street or anyone trying to hire them...

An estimated 100,000 illegal immigrants have left Arizona in the past two years as it cracked down on illegal immigration and its economy was especially hard hit by the Great Recession...

This was and is a winning campaign issue, that, except for immigration reform (amnesty), no republican has brought to the forefront.

Yes true. And many are still believing that lip service from politicians who are even now only talking about illegal immigration because Trump made them.

Trump is the one who is making the media and the rest of the politicians talk about these immigration issues. The politicians didn’t start talking about it only until Trump made them. And suddenly they are all moving to right on this.

Trump is the only hope to save America, freedom and capitalism.

It’s called chumming the waters for the sharks ( the American voters concerned about illegal aliens ) to bite.

It’s a good thing that the establishment political class and the media pundits are totally oblivious of what Trump, Cruz, and the people are talking about being on the same page.

It’s political poison for the media pundits and the establishment to ignore this issue as a crazy cockameme side issue.

The GOPe, with its hordes of sycophants flattering and interviewing one another saying how intelligent and wise they all are, has exhausted the ability of its members to think rationally. THEY are the hollow people of our time and we need no longer pay them ANY heed...they will only slow us down and limit our possibilities.

The GOPe has lost its vision and can not see what great nations under great leadership can accomplish. No matter what you think of them, we are blessed with TWO potentially GREAT men running in the 2016 Republican primary. I am talking of course of Ted Cruz and Donald Trump (yes, really, Donald Trump). These two HAVE NOT and WILL NOT take that first step on the path of DEFEATISM. And that first step is to say “We cannot...”. Those two small words can defeat ANY great undertaking or enterprise. Those two small words have been banished from the vocabularies of Cruz and Trump; and I thank God for that.
