Zackly - I’m sure there is some overlap with anti-amnesty thinking and isolation thinking, and some over lap with trade too - but those overlaps are just incidental and Greenfield’s use of those weakened his main point, which was spot on.
Maybe you can help me a bit:
What is the definition of an “isolationist” now? I knew during the Cold War it was someone that wanted the Soviets to win. During WW2 it was someone that wanted Hitler to take Great Britain. But what now? Someone that doesn’t to bomb Christian schools in Kosovo, or someone that doesn’t want to goad Russia into starting WW3? Difficult to define now, at least for me.
Dude, you HIT A NERVE WITH ME...you’re making me think, for once.
Isolationism is a FOREIGN POLICY, it is what you do (or not do) in other parts of the world.
Secure Borders is a DOMESTIC POLICY...by definition.
While maybe most isolationists want secure borders, I also suspect that most people supporting secure borders are also anti-abortion. Should that be discussed in this piece on illegal immigration too?
