Charles Krauthammer and George Will continue to showcase their insane alignment with the DC Machine writ large. You might think of them as pundits, until you realize their punditry is expressed alignment with the policy positions of: John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, Ben Carson, Scott Walker, Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, John Kasich, Rick Perry, Lindsey Graham, Rand Paul, George Pataki and Jim Gilmore.
Laura Ingraham scratches the surface on the “anchor baby” issue, but more directly frames the discussion around the larger picture of failed immigration enforcement which has led to the crisis.
We are in this ridiculous place because the ‘Beltway Betters‘ have failed to enforce existing law, failed to secure the border, failed to secure employment law and lied to the American people about their intents therein.
First Krauthammer:

Here’s George Will’s latest ‘high-horse’ nonsense:
[…] The GOP, formerly the party of Lincoln and ostensibly the party of liberty and limited government, is being defined by clamors for a mass roundup and deportation of millions of human beings. To will an end is to will the means for the end, so the Republican clamors are also for the requisite expansion of government’s size and coercive powers.
Most of Donald Trump’s normally loquacious rivals are swaggeringly eager to confront Vladimir Putin, but are too invertebrate — Lindsey Graham is an honorable exception — to voice robust disgust with Trump and the spirit of, the police measures necessary for, and the cruelties that would accompany, his policy. The policy is: “They’ve got to go.”
“They,” the approximately 11.3 million illegal immigrants (down from 12.2 million in 2007), have these attributes: Eighty-eight percent have been here at least five years. Of the 62 percent who have been here at least 10 years, about 45 percent own their own homes. About half have children who were born here and hence are citizens. Dara Lind of Vox reports that at least 4.5 million children who are citizens have at least one parent who is an illegal immigrant. (read more)
Even a disinterested observer will note how all of a sudden all things to do with illegal immigration are impossible to change. The border wall is too costly; illegal alien employment can’t be stopped; deportations are impossible; birthright citizenship is settled constitutional law etc.
The audacity of Will, Krauthammer and the Republicans they carry water for is stunning.
All of a sudden now that we have a candidate in Donald Trump who actually PLANS to do, what other candidates have only PROMISED to do, both Krauthammer and Will are reversing all of their prior pontifications. Proving, they, along with a host of others like McCain, Romney, Bush et al, never intended (or intend) to stop the illegal immigration flow – it was/is all just a ruse.
Trump is forcing all of these liars, schemers and manipulators into the sunlight. Fully exposed they have no option but to display their insufferable Robert-The-Bruce bloodlines.
The losers said Americans could never put a man on the moon but we did. REAL AMERICANS NEVER SAY CAN’T!
The Feral Government is somewhat balloon like. Increase efforts (and achievements) on the borders and other ports of entry and back off on some others (e.g. CAGW ‘research”).
As far as I know everybody comes into contact with the Feds at least annually.

Hey Babalu, You’re all right?
They seem to focus on the number of 11 million. What about the other 29 Million?
One of the homes on the street behind me was recently purchased by a single female who openly states she is here illegally and insists on speaking only Spanish. She considers her four children under eight years of age as legal “because they were born in the U.S.”. Involved in a bidding war with 3 other potential buyers who had 20% down and great credit - according to the realtor. Illegal ended up paying $15,000 more than the listing price and was granted a 100% loan at 3.5% interest with no downpayment under a special government program for first time home buyers. She is employed full time as manager of a very small local restaurant which has only been open about six months.
Couple who sold the home was delighted with the extra income from their sale because they are older, not in good health and downsizing. Now we have five more illegals in our neighborhood, four new kids in the school system, and a house that sold for way over the value of similar homes in the neighborhood. Assessed value will go up for everyone else next year and taxes will continue to climb.
Not a good situation.
100%... if they only had a spine
I’m very thankful that today’s congress, both republicans and democrats, were not in office during WWII.
All of these bought off,black-mailed pssuy money mongers need to be thrown out on their butts and the inhabitant of the oval orifice needs to be arrested for treason.
Evidently not since that is what they rode on to the border.
Maybe we need to get the tar and feathers and start dragging the Congress critters out for a little illegal alien attitude adjustment session.

Tar and feathers is so messy. Rope and tree branch is much easier.
Sent Cornyn an email re voting no on Iran, no more raising of the debt limit and start putting employers who hire illegals in jail. Received an email thanking me for asking for a flag which had been flown over the White House for my upcoming Republican fund raiser. Wonder why I even bother.
We come in painful contact 5 times a year with our quarterly Fed Income Tax payments and on 15 April.
No secure border? Then we don’t actually have a country, do we? If no country, WhyTF do we need any government let alone this incompetent, corrupt mess of trough feeders?
So citizenship tourism is an acceptable practice to the Constitution? Send in one PG female close to term, she then gives birth ON OUR DIME to a brand new US citizen.
Someone much smarter than me once said, “The Constitution is not a suicide pact”. How is a nation to survive with a policy that has brought in nearly a 100,000,000 immigrants, legal and illegal in the last 40 years?
Yes we can remove them, the illegals that is. Support for doing so is around 70%, and that ain’t on the low side Mr. Malthusian Guttmacher.
Bravo! Thank you for setting that one straight.
There is NO need to “round them up”. Once it is no longer more beneficial to be here than to be at home, they will go. It is exactly what brought them here, and they didn’t need government help then, even while having to oppose border guards, language differences, no employment, and likely having to spend many thousands of dollars to “coyotes” to get them across.
