In an appearance on Fox News Sunday, conservative columnist George Will had some harsh words for those who insist that the waves of migrant children crossing the border from non-contiguous nations in search of asylum.
“We ought to say to these children, ‘Welcome to American, you’re going to go to school and get a job and become Americans,’” Will insisted.
He seemed to suggest that those who advocate for the deportation of South and Central American minors underestimate America’s power to assimilate foreign-born populations.
“We have 3,141 counties in this country. That would be 20 per county,” he added. The idea that we can’t assimilate these eight-year-old criminals with their teddy bears is preposterous.”
Fox host Chris Wallace sounded a note of skepticism when he interrupted Will to add that he could sense viewers already sending in angry emails contesting the syndicated columnist’s iconoclastic take on the border crisis. Will countered that the waves of immigrants America took in and assimilated in the 19th Century vastly outnumbered the present influx.
He said that the greatest counter to illegal immigration ever passed by the United States was NAFTA, “which it put the Mexican economy on the road to prosperity.” Will advocated for a similar free trade agreement with Central American countries and a plan to reduce America’s illegal drug consumption in order to arrest the flow of immigrants from unstable countries like Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala.

That is an amnesty deal I could go for.
We take the illegals, their home countries get our liberals and parasites.
Thank you!
each child admitted to the US represents about a dozen relatives in the very near future, and each of them another dozen, and on and on -
when does it stop?? - never!!
get serious people!!
Mexico is every bit as racist as Apartheid-era South Africa, when it comes to their indigenous population. All the money is in the hands of the Euro-Elite.
They want nothing more than to dump Mexico’s indigenous population on the US.
They want welfare.
If enough of them get welfare, it will conquer America sooner or later.
THOSE immigrants came here because they WANTED to be Americans. They WANTED to assimilate, and the sooner the better.
They brought Christian ethics and already had or were rejoining established and INTACT families.
They were screened up the ying yang and sent back to their respective countries, if they were not healthy enough to seek and keep employment.
I KNOW, because my grandparents came here in the early twenties and struggled to succeed. NO ONE helped and they knew they had to sink or swim on their own.
ALSO, they respected the laws and traditions of America, and they LOVED America... once arriving they held NO OTHER allegiance to any other national entity!!! PERIOD!
Since a number of them were Jewish, I would say "Judeo-Christian" ethics.
The first sentence doesn’t make any sense. George should stick to feeling himself up in public waxing rhapsodic over baseball.

O.K., George, provided you’ll take all of them within your gated community. As Jebbie Bush might say, share the love.
Here is the amnesty deal I could go for:
If you are in our country illegally, you have thirty days of amnesty to turn yourself in and self-deport.
After which, we will place a $1000.00 bounty on the head of every illegal, man, woman, or child; payable to any US citizen who brings them in. These will be dumped unceremoniously on the Mexican border to find their way home as best as they can.
YES...and the point being, they were not cultural or social nomads without respect or allegiance for anything. They were not coming here to freeload and despise their host nation!
The ‘immigrants’ coming here now want the most for the least effort and will never give full allegiance to America. They will assimilate ONLY enough to get what’s free and will avoid all/any personal effort in the process.
Can it be any clearer that those with the loudest voices are those the least qualified to comment on anything?
The message to all legal immigrants should be: “Welcome to America”. The message to all illegals should be “Crime doesn’t pay”. The rule of law is essential for legitimate government.

And I insist that this sends a message to these children and all others around the globe that if you disrespect or break America’s laws, you will get rewarded with citizenship, free schooling, and a job, which of course encourages even more illegal immigration.
This is the just latest example of George Will having been inside the beltway for way too long as he has clearly lost his conservative compass. He is an elitist, out-of-touch has-been and completely irrelevant to the modern day conservative/Tea Party movement. When your views are more and more resembling that milquetoast, linguini-spined phony David Brooks, then you know it’s simply time to put down the pen and call it a career.
George better hope his family never runs into these MS-13 children
Speaker “Blank Check” Boehner keeps “Free for All” Obama in power by not controlling spending or Impeaching Obama.
“Gridlock” Reid shuts down the DEMOCRAT BROTHERHOOD GOVERNMENT, (DBG), anytime that Boehner refuses to write Obama a Blank Check.
“Free for All” Obama is more than happy to play hooky from his day job and fly around on the taxpayer’s dime to raise Campaign money for “Gridlock” Reid’s Senate Candidates, and the DBG.
“Blank Check” Boehner is the key man to allow “Free for All” Obama to continue to fundamentally transform America, and Obama knows it.
Force Boehner to resign, and Obama will be at the mercy of New Speaker Jim Jordan or Trey Gowdy.
Keep Boehner as Speaker and there is very little reason to expect Mid-Term Voters to find an effective difference between Republicans and Democrats.
Mexico pretty much already has.
They have run out of illegals to export to America and demographics show Mexico has been massively de populated by emigration to the US.
If you want to find out how many mexicans have illegally emigrated to the US, dont waste your time with lying American stats on how many Meducans are here
Instead, look at the very more reliable stats on how many Mexicans are no longer in Mexico
The numbers are stunning.
Mexicans are very racist.
They think Central Americans are a lower form if life and they are not fond of gringos either
That’s why I don’t understand why so many indigenous Mexicans wrap themselves in the flag of the country that hates them.
Add a $10,000 bounty on any employer who hires an illegal, because THAT is the root of the problem.
