IF the damned SOB Jihadist “immigrants” don’t abandon
BLOWING US UP and RUNNING US OVER IN SEMIS or shooting
us with MACHINE GUNS, they’re going to face a lot worse
things than “inconvenient” delays at the airport. Can
YOU get through to them? Words didn’t do it for us; it
MIGHT for you.

If those people can not give a valid reason for being at the airport, either to depart, arrive or attend to someone going or coming, then order them off of the property or have them arrested. Get a stadium or something ready to process them. It’s not rocket science.

Not on both sides of his family; mom was American & dad was Cuban.

Yes, it feels like the beginning of a divorce.

And people still believe the propaganda that it was all about slavery. Now, they want people to believe it is about racism and discrimination when it is about values and keeping people out who hate us. Racism has nothing to do with it on our side. However, on their side they hate us for how we are (racism) and want to kill us.

Just what is it -- exactly -- the Left in this country is protesting? .... Enforcement of the law? of America's immigration regulations? What?

(My question is rhetorical ... Clearly what is going on is simply another example of how people on the Left behave when they don't get their way or they disagree with something -- they through a mass temper tantrum.)

True. But as a tactical matter, I still think Cruz missed an opportunity to boomerang the issue on Trump. When The Donald started harrumphing about "some say Ted's not eligible, I don't know, but it's being said, and maybe we need to find out," etc., Cruz should just have smiled and replied, "Donald, I hate to break the news to you, but my family's been here about 200 years longer than yours." He could then have told a couple of colorful stories about his various Irish and Italian ancestors and offered to wear a shamrock and spring for the pizza if Trump would put on a kilt or lederhosen. IOW, turn it into a joke.

No, that would not have been an answer to those who were busily inventing fictitious constitutional definitions of "native born," but c'mon: he was debating Donald Trump. Poor Ted, champion debater, could not think outside of the box. Trump does not operate in the world of strict linear logic. His Republican primary opponents never adjusted. But that's ancient history.

Cruz wasn't lucky enough to have had an ancestor with Washington at Valley Forge or on either side of The Angle at Gettysburg. He would have had to make do with a humbler American icon. But whatever his Irish forebears were doing in backwoods America in the 1730's and 40's, and whatever his factory hand Irish and Italian forebears were doing in the 1880's and 90's, would have anchored his story in such a way that Trump's harrumphing would have seemed silly -- especially coming from a man whose own family were recent newcomers.

Note: many of the protestors brought along their signs from the DC protests/riots, including the poster with the woman wearing the American flag as a hijab.
