What Greenfield writes makes sense. Nevertheless, I am stunned: This is the first optimistic piece that he has written that I can recall.

Two more “realizations” about to be driven home:
1. The impact of a wave of non-English speaking students on classes when schools reconvene in a few short weeks.
2. The spike in amnesty requests as lawyers for this current wave of illegal juveniles formally request their parents, siblings and extended families to join them.

Criminal charges should be brought against all politicians involved in the importation of illegals. Any politician who acted in such a way that promoted, aided and abetted this lawlessness needs to be held accountable; no matter the office they hold.

AS FREEPER GOPJ POSTED: Democrats are not only taking the Obama admin to task, they are also making it very clear they have no intention of letting the federal govt put the children in their home states.

The 'costs' of illegals will be higher taxes, higher crime, contagion and possible epidemics of disease, and 'strained' social services.

In short the 'oh so compassionate' Democrats are worried they won't get re-elected.

Rather than work to secure the borders and STOP the flood of illegals, they'll dump these kids in Republican states...

Democrat voter registration drives are always complicated.

Boston had an anti-illegal immigration protest on July 26th..... over 10,000 strong showed-up.... politicians were pretty much shell-shocked. Now the Democrat prog/lib governor announced that MA will not be taking in illegals.

Massachusetts parents were understandably upset: Adult illegals, fresh from the border, posed as unaccompanied alien children, attempted to enroll in MA public high schools. “Some of them had gray hair, saying they’re 17 years old, and have no documentation,” said Lynn mayor’s office. School policy is to check w/ family----who confirmed one enrollee was a 35-year old adult.

Gray-haired men enrolling in MA schools? More like drug lords infiltrating schools---planning to set up lifelong lucrative businesses getting kids addicted......giving out free samples. Could also be sex traffickers ---lining up kiddies for johns (and for pedophiles) who pay big bucks to get ahold of the little darlings.

====================================================

BACKSTORY Bostonians--still reeling from the Boston Marathon bombing---heard 144 counties were crossing the border into the US.

After the bombing, this same governor---Deval Patrick---- ordered Massachusetts govt agencies to conceal welfare documents from taxpayers in the wake of the Boston bombings.

But sources who saw 500 pages of welfare documents (requested by a state legislator) told News Center 5 that the entire Tsarnaev family, including (1) the two bombing suspects' parents, (2) the two suspects themselves, (3) their sisters, (4) the widow of the suspect killed, and, (5) their child -- received "every conceivable public benefit available out there."

==============================================

The hot NY political buzz is prez wannabe Gov Andy Cuomo is considering
Massachsetts Gov Deval Patrick as his running mate. Lame duck Deval is
trying to up his name recognition, hoping to score brownie points with Cuomo.

Here, VP hopeful Deval sap-happily applauds his state's
new police chief---wearing her spiffy Commandant
Herman Goerring uniform (not photoshopped).

Anybody know how to say versimilitude in German?

I think the direct link to isolationism is a stretch, and weakened the piece. But I agree with over all thesis.

This is HALF OF THE GAME.

The Dems BLEW IT on Amnesty, for now. They should have rammed it through in 2009. With Cantor heading to K-Street on a one-way ticket, Obama will likely get NOTHING through the House for the rest of his presidency.

But now can the Republicans CAPITALIZE? That is the big question. The first thing they have to do is GET RID OF THEIR ADVISERS (most of them gay, by the way), and listen to the VOTERS and the phone calls. They need to look DIFFERENTLY at these advisers, as they are a 5th Column and DO NOT have this country’s interests in mind. The Republicans, most of them anyway, actually do love this country, but they are confused and they listen to these advisers (who can work a lot of hours, as they don’t have kids) - so that’s pretty much where they think the country is.

Hopefully Cantor’s (political) head is wake-up call. So instead of listening to the advisers (who should have never been trusted in the first place), the REPUBLICANS have to come out SOLID for SECURE BORDERS and not even discuss anything beyond that - that can wait a decade. Hispanics, believe it or not, also want SECURE BORDERS, based on polling by Univision, they know what’s down there and they prefer it stay DOWN THERE.

It’s not hard, but the first step is to STOP TRUSTING THE ADVISERS (and send them back to the Democrats, before they do even more damage).

Is it possible to find the newest 60,000+ illegals and deport them? Is it possible to find the 12 million+ illegals that have come here illegally or overstayed their visa's and deport them?

I don't see any politician campaigning on finding the illegals and sending them home, they are here to stay all of them and more and more to come, this is the fundamental transformation the dark powers have planned.

Good commentary from a legal immigrant here:

Opinion
Lament of a Legal Alien

If I had come here illegally and married my wife, a U.S. citizen, I’d have a green card by now.

Fayette, Miss.

My desire to come to the United States was born out of ambition, not desperation. I stood in every line there was, beginning at the U.S. Embassy in my native India and then here, filled out every form that needed to be filled out, and made copies and certified copies of all the documents that were needed to prove that I was who I said I was.

At every point I was warned that if I lied or falsified information or tried to find work other than the job I was authorized to do in the U.S. there would be serious consequences. In particular I was warned about the rather grave repercussions if I chose to stay here illegally.

I was impressed with the United States’ laws and those who enforced them. I felt that if I had to stand in line so did the others and that the process was fair to everyone. I did a whole lot of waiting, filled out lots of forms, got photographed and fingerprinted and waited some more to be called a “legal alien physician.”

I have been here for seven years and have been married to a U.S. citizen for a little over three years. The reason I am still on a visa is that I signed a clause with the U.S. government that said that I would work in a medically underserved area for a total of three years after my medical-residency training here, and that I wouldn’t be able to wiggle out of this commitment even if I married a U.S. citizen. My wife and I often joke that if I came here illegally and married her then I would at least have had a green card by now.

Both Democrats and Republicans have made the mistake of trying to trade the white working class voters that they have for the future demographics of a transformed nation.

Straight-up evil on the part of manipulative politicians, and a crime that should be punishable by death.
