From the article:
Defaulting to foreign policy that cowers on this side of the ocean-- any ocean—because “we can’t afford” to fight for anything or because “countries get mad at us” for fighting for something or because “America can’t be the policeman of the world” is not admitting of the plain facts.

Given that of a population of 313.9 million there is an estimated 11.7 million (low estimate) that are illegal immigrants it's particularly foolish to say that we can afford to be so involved with overseas operations. — given the greater estimate of 20m we get 6.3%, which is slightly more than 1 in 20.

We are in the middle of an invasion — it is folly to concentrate on what's happening overseas while turning a blind eye to our own back yard.

Agreed. It would be nice if we actually secured our own borders.

[The actual number of illegals is closer to 30 - 40 million and counting.]
