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:
(VIDEO-AT-LINK)
Heres George Wills 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 governments size and coercive powers.
Most of Donald Trumps 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: Theyve 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 cant 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 border can easily be secured by the U.S. Armed forces. It just takes the will. Unfortunately, the pink pantied idiots who now run things don’t have the Cajones for decisive action.
Ike did a good job! His plan would still be pretty effective.
The Replubli-can’t Party has spoken.
The Replubli-can’t Party has spoken.
Red, We need to get very, very busy and spread the TRUTH on this one as it is the crux of our current problem.
It should be simple enough. Oh, and either tax or prevent money transfers outside of the country except for business purposes.
As someone probably French once said,
“You can’t win, you can’t break even,
and you can’t get out of the game.”
Worse than that.
There are about 900,000 illegal aliens who have committed serious and violent crimes with outstanding arrest warrants who have been set loose by the the Obama Administration catch and release program for Criminal Aliens, or who have skipped bail and are on the run.
There are another 800,000 who are currently in American jails and close to another million who are wanted for crimes but have not yet been arrested.
America is going to have to deport at least a million criminal and otherwise undesirable illegal aliens for the good of the country.
The Republican leadership seems to be content to let foreign countries export their violent criminals to the United States to prey on the American people and to allow them to stay in the country even after committing serious violent crimes against American citizens.
The big radio guys Levin, Rush, Savage, and Hannity are doing it, and the leading Republican candidate who started it all of course is. The rest of the liberal media, Dems, and GOPE are going to have a heck of a time trying to contain it.
One of the many old threads about the abuse of the 14th Amendment. For our edification...

“There is no automatic birthright citizenship in a particular case. (Wong Kim Ark Case, 169 U.S. 649 (1898))
The Supreme Court has never confirmed birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens, temporary workers, and tourists. (Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202, 211 n.10 (1982)) “
- - - -
The Plyler case is a curious mention that it ‘never confirmed birthright’ since this is the case that lefty justice Brennen slipped in his nonbinding footnote saying it did.

Well done!
I had the same thought, but couldn’t word it right.
LEAD, FOLLOW, OR GET OUT OF THE WAY!
They would knock down what fence we have to allow a flood to break through like the recent EPA mine disaster in Colorado.
Excellent! Mind if I borrow the image?
I think Trump has exposed, like never before, the key weakness of the GOPe. And that is: they suck.
WELL THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN!
"Of the 62 percent who have been here at least 10 years, about 45 percent own their own homes."
WELL THEY SHOULDN'T!
"About half have children who were born here and hence are citizens."
NO THEY'RE NOT!
The melting pot of America no longer exists. Hyphened America needs to end. It is a key to success. I know this from experience. My grand parents on my mother's of the family immigrated to America. My mother is bilingual, I am not, other than a crude understanding of the language. My kids can barely speak a word. My family were never hyphenated Americans. But to this day, I pass down heritage and pride to my children.
My family went through abuse to become Americans until we were indisguishable from other Americans. They even since immigrated from the socialist state of Minnesota to be conservative Americans.
Pres. Eisenhower deported over three million illegals in his successful Operation Wetback (no PC back then). This was before computers, bar codes, drones, and satellites that have made IDs and surveillance much easier. We definitely could make a huge dent in our illegal population with all the tools we have now. The only thing lacking is the will to restore our sovereignty. Trump has the will and that’s why he is winning.
