His much-heralded hard line on immigration discards pragmatic reform policies favored by the two most popular conservatives of the last half century, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. Building a yuuuuge wall along the southern border hardly qualifies as a "cautiously moderate" approach, nor would uprooting 11 million current residents (and, presumably, millions more of their American-citizen children and spouses) in the greatest forced migration in human history.Pragmatic efforts? WTH?
Look, either you have a border or you don't. That is the DEFINING issue of our time at least for real Conservatives. Apparently millions of Conservatives are finding out that the meaning in the word has been perverted by the GOPe RINO elites to mean open borders and cheap labor.
