What I thought Sowell meant was what he wrote, that no canididate is perfect. I don’t see sowell mentioning Reagan’s act towqrd illegals as sowell saying he agrees with newt. After all reagan thought we were going to secure the border and not allow anymore illegals in.
i disagree with those who say we can’t round up and deport 11 or 20 million illegals. The truth is we won’t have to, eliminate jobs and any benefits they are now getting and they will go back. we see this happening in those states that enacted stricter enforcement. Alabama being the latest.
there is nothing IMO inhumnane about enforcing our laws.
I agree with your sentiments vis a vis immigration enforcement.
