I take it that ‘saber-rattling’ translates as ‘sending foreign nationals back to their own country’ or ‘enforcing the law’, something that comes in a distant second to ethnic pandering in your mind.

'Saber rattling' in this context is tough talk that nobody actually thinks could become public policy. Makes us feel better, but alienates voters who would agree with us on enough issues to vote our way.

We don't even end up with small measures that way.

“’Saber rattling’ in this context is tough talk that nobody actually thinks could become public policy. “

Meaning that you put the demands of foreign nationals first and can’t imagine anyone actually enforcing the law.

Dwight Eisenhower had no such problem. His policy for ridding the United States of illegal aliens was Operation Wetback. The PC crowd of opportunists making up today’s GOP can’t even utter the name, much less imagine themselves deporting illegals back to their homes. What cowards.

There is core of opportunists within the GOP who put foreign nationals first, falling all over themselves in their haste to subvert American law as fast as they can. It’s a fascinating marriage of law-ignoring foreign nationals and The Stupid Party’s elites. The best part is that none of the grovelling and pandering will garner The Stupid Party the latino votes that they are whoring after.
