Conservatives at one time understood many things that they now seem to have forgotten. They understood that you could not "nation build". That democracy is only for those that have a inclination and willingness to fight for it. That no nation can bring freedom to a people that are unwilling or undesirious of supporting same. That one could not ignore the laws of our nation that require stopping at our border before coming across. These and many other principles that conservatives held dear have gone by the board in this administration. While it is true that the alternative (the leftist democrats) would be worse, we have a lot of work to do to reinstill conservative values amoung so-called conservatives.

In other words, how can you save someone - who doesn't want to be saved?
