FWIW - this writer has been fairly critical of Trump - or more accurately - some in the Trump movement. I think he’s been balanced overall, and I think this demonstrates it. I don’t really agree with him here, but it does show balance and logic on his entire body of work vis a vis Trump.

You have better ideas?

You’re right, Ed Strake has been very fair with his criticism and praise (such as it is) of Trump.

You’ve been quiet over at AT for a while. I’ve always enjoyed your work while I may not agree with you you are a good writer and can articulate your positions well.

In addition to the cost to taxpayers to subsidize illegals, there's the political implications. The unusually high welfare use of immigrants helps explain why strong majorities of immigrant voters are supportive of big government These illegals are ethnic solidarity pressure groups for salivating Third World greedsters lusting for increased US foreign aid.

THAT SUCKING SOUND YOU HEAR The illegal connivers establish several identities and suck at the public teat 24/7.

(a) One latino (who got caught) ripped off UI for some $3.4 MILLION using several identities.

(b) The Washington state rapist had 30 identities——collecting (and voting) many times over.

(c) Congress needs to curtail funding the heinous Merida Initiative-—whereby Mexico collects millions in US tax dollars for their “drug problem”........a problem they created.

(d) There’s the millions of tax dollars handed over to bloodthirsty La Raza-—which teaches violence and killing American in our schools.

Could someone clarify one point. I read that Trump said that he could "get rid of illegals in two years, AND THEN build the wall."

Did he in fact say this? If so, why. It doesn't seem to make sense. Thanks
