Folks, I had an eye-opening and scary visit to a California university a month ago. Invited by otherwise erstwhile "conservatives," my talks were well received by the students. But at dinner, the discussion---joined by a Libertarian philosophy prof---turned to immigration, and everyone was against secure borders.

I am for free trade, but I also am for national security first, and it was clear that to these people there was no such thing as securing our borders! The philosophy guy said he believed in the Declaration, but not the Constitution, which was just "a compromise."

Oh really? Later in discussing what rights Americans had, he invoked the Constitution, at which point I blew him out of the water by saying he couldn't use that---he had already claimed it was of no value!!

These pro-illegal Republicans and radical free-trade Libertarians must be weeded out for the GOP to have any chance of again becoming THE party of liberty and national security . . . and yes, they do go together.

It's all about globalism. Fox is saying the same things to Canada as he's saying to us.

Imagine the futre of America when we become a mixture of Canadian socialism and Mexican feudalism.

I thought about Democrats as more adept in propaganda than Republicans. But looks like they could not control it (even if they tried, who knows?!): all the Mexican flags make a statement on their own. Everything I wanted to know about these demonstrations I got from the first glance at waving flags. They don't want to be Americans. Case closed.

I am a naturalized American; American first and all my other sympathies and native language second. These guys are Mexicans.

The problem is simpler than many people think. Seal the border completely. After that we can find a solution what to do with all illegals already here. A reasonable compromise can be found, but only AFTER the borders are sealed. To me, there is no point even to discuss the second step until we make the first one.

Politically speaking it is a big blow to Democrats. When you say that any discussion about national security is beneficial to Republicans: even counting all the mistakes, they are still seen as preferable on the subject - similar can be said on the illegal immigration. Clear and large majority of Americans is against it, and Democrats are associated with it more than Republicans. The more the MSM shows this enormous 500 thousands demonstration, the more they get the opposite effect from the people watching it.
