Kudlow is NOT an open borders supporter.

He is in favor of sensible solutions.

Advocating deprting illegals instead of finding a solution may make people feel better, but it is not realistic.

And when the economy needs and can accomodate extra workers, not providing them only hurts OUR economy. Providing them within the law takes away from the incentive to come here illegally, and we would know who is in the country.

All those who are against "amnesty" should ask themselves -- what REALISTIC solution do they have regarding the illegals already here?

Sounds like the same weasle-words we're getting from the president who wants to drive down wages and destroy upward mobility for American citizens. And, y'know? I think eliminating the estate tax is not very...sensible...just kinda unrealistic, expecially when Joe Sixpack has been thoroughly alienated and is going to scoff at Ludlow's worries over where his millions will end up.

Kudlow thinks Joe will just fall in line? Be there when it's Kudlow's ox being gored?

What the fiscal conservatives had better understand if they want anything done is that Joe is not just unhappy, he's disgusted and furious and fit to be tied. It's going to affect your pet issue, and attempting to wave his concerns away (or condescend to him, like the Fred Barnes of the RINOs do) is going to get you a third party and President Hillary. And Joe's not stupid--he knows what "amnesty" means, no matter how Clintonesque the argument.

This is every issue dear to the hearts of erstwhile elitists and hegemonists...and especially the WOT, though the idiots in the admin haven't figured that out yet. America has just seen GWB wave a white flag at Mexico, and they're not going to forget it. Heretofore, they didn't associate a shrug and a surrender with GWB. Now they do.
