Bill Kristol and his famous father were stupidly open borders for years. It takes the Republicans always losing in California and elsewhere to see the fruits of his stupidity, to make him change his mind. I have been for immigration restriction and real border enforcement since 1990 and briefly exchanged words with Irvirg Kristol on this in 1991 or so
I agree and Bill Kristol is famously almost always wrong about everything, but on this he’s right. Broken clock syndrome I guess.
