Fences work if they are enforced by appropriate measures.

We should call them criminals then.
In fact his essay is mostly RINO crap.
what, different rules than that “Climate Debate” then?
In honor of this thread and the current “Illegals” situation, I have decided to return to my previous tagline.
Invaders. They are invaders. Mexico has 10% of its citizens illegally living here. We should declare war on Mexico and take the appropriate actions. If the government and people of Mexico refuse to control their citizens and encourage them to invade the US, then we should invade them and take them over.
Make it nine nines and let the other enforcement systems mop up the few leakages.
Where’s the barf alert?
this clown is pure crap!!!
Fences work if they are enforced by appropriate measures.
“Hispanic and Asian voters in particular tend to view the really hard-line rhetoric on this issue, the people who talk about “invaders” and hype every bad thing that can be said about illegal immigrants, the people who have a problem even with private charity aiding children and teenagers stranded at the border, as driven by racism. Fair or not, when the loudest voices in your movement have that effect, they should reconsider what they are doing, because facts or no facts, law or no law, in a democracy, one man and the truth are lonely drinking buddies.”
Here Red State sounds like the libertarians’ `Reason’ magazine.
Above in #1. `One time amnesty’ the author talks about the need to keep re-visiting this issue. That’s the problem.
Prison inmates have unkind things to say about their jailers. Who cares? They broke our law.
Illegal aliens—we could use a euphemism, but why? That’s what they are: foreigners here in knowing violation of our immigration laws—don’t have to like our laws.
We don’t have the luxury of `act utilitarianism’. The rule of law has taken it on the chin these last several years, from two presidents.
The worst thing we could do is reward lawbreakers with amnesty—we could us a euphemism here, but why...? We had about 3 million illegals in 1986. How many do the MSM admit to now: 12 million? We have 10% of Mexico’s population now. In 2024, we’ll have half of Mexico and 10% of central American.
We dislike Mexico and Mexicans, per the author? Because we object to them invading our country? Yeah, we must be racists. Enforce our laws. Period. And Red State can take a hike.
First, I would make any violation of the law by an illegal alien a capital crime. That would run a bunch of them out. Train law enforcement officers to recognize the gang symbolism of MS13, and shoot on sight.
Second, make hiring illegal aliens punishable by 25 years in prison at hard labor, as well as confiscation of all the assets of the officers of the companies doing the hiring.
Third, I would arrest any remaining illegal aliens, and send them to civics classes, with emphasis on the rule of law. Include lessons on the history of the United States, and how it became the greatest nation the Earth has ever seen. Then I’d give them guns and send them home.
I think this could have used a “barf alert”.
Criminal alien invaders.
And it’s not a “border crisis”. Mexico and other Central American nations are waging an undeclared war of aggression against these United States of America, carrying out an invasion with an ununiformed, irregular army.
We have cause to declare war against the lot, if we so desire.
Re #2: In tax amnesties, the taxpayer is required to pay the tax due and is forgiven some or all of the interest and penalties. In a parking ticket amnesty the illegal parker has to pay the fine but is forgiven any late payment penalties. Even when the local library has an overdue book amnesty you have to return the book. By parallel construction, at the bare minimum an immigration amnesty would be where the illegal is allowed to go home and apply for legal immigration without further penalty (like permanent expulsion) or rewards (like going to the front of the line). If that is amnesty, what would the vastly more generous terms offered by the Dems be called?
This clown is too clever by half, but he isn't fooling anyone.
Anyone who claims that civil right attorneys will not descend on DC the very next day after passing such a law waving lawsuit on behalf of these "lawful, taxpaying legal residents" demanding they be allowed full citizenship, because in America we have no second class citizens, is LYING.
Why would you post a pic (1,832px × 1,213px) larger than most monitors? Waste of bandwidth.
Yep. It should. We don't need the labor, and economically (much less socially) the country can't absorb them. Except under very narrow exceptions, our borders should be closed -- to Mexicans and everyone else.
Well, I'll put it this way. If a water fixture in my house breaks, I will first turn the water off, before replacing the faucet or other leaking part.
