Author and political commentator Ann Coulter said there should be a 10-year freeze on immigration to the U.S. since the federal government has demonstrated it cannot enforce current law.
Theres a law on the books that says if a country will not take a criminal back the attorney general shall, not may, shall deny visas, any visas coming from that country that is on the books right now. Has it been enforced by Republicans or Democrats? No, it has not, Coulter said during an interview with PJ Media.
Theres a law on the books right now that says an immigrant who has been convicted of a crime in America who does not cooperate in being sent home, that itself is a crime, not signing the papers, not showing up when youre supposed to, that itself is a crime punishable by 4 years in prison thats never enforced. Its just not enforced. Three times Congress has voted to build a fence and it never gets built, she added.
According to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released 33,007 illegal immigrants with criminal records in 2013. Following these releases, 121 were charged with homicides.
Based on the research Coulter conducted, she concluded that a legal fix is not going to improve the immigration system.
The entire thing has to be shut down. No more immigration for 10 years. We get our books in order. We assimilate the ones already here. Build a fence. Repeal anchor babies and then we start up with the pre-1970 immigration policies, Coulter said....

Justice Roberts says in this case, “shall” means “may, in its sole discretion, and without recourse” because Congress obviously intended to open the borders of the country to make the US Citizen pay for the sins of the world, and to be the welfare funder for this century.
This is the moderate thing for the Court to do.
10 years ago...... this kind of talk would have done some good...
at least generated a decent conversation...
NOW.. it’s too late.. unless the silent majority rises up...
Odds are..... they have become too apathetic.. cowards.. or degenerate..
We should never refer to this as a “focus on white voters”. Republicans are not the party of white people; we are the party of those who think government and individuals should judge people by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin. We should focus on voters who follow the tradition of MLK (at least as that tradition is encapsulated in that line from his most famous speech).
Hell, I’d settle for white voters. You are aiming too high.
Lawyers don’t cut it unless they make it to High Office, like Obi or are part of the gov’t. What she has said theoretically makes sense, and she isn’t a ground-breaker on the theoretical front; but, in reality/practice it won’t happen.
In reality/practice, if there weren’t wars and constant conflict & bloodshed in the M.E. for instance, there would be much less immigration to the West. That stands true today as over the last 4 decades at least. At least, there would be many less immigrants on ‘refugees’ or ‘political asylum’ status.
Identifying conservative voters, voters who approve of the rule of law, or productive Americans as “white voters” is a mistake,, both politically and in fact. The main distinction between the divisive democrats and the (far too loyal) opposition is whether voters want to be divided into groups, not their melanin concentration.
I agree with you.
Almost 10 yrs ago I initially thought she had a point or two in some aspects of her talks, still do.
But since, she seems increasingly like an impractical publicist, whose jibes are much more emotionally appealing to a niche group (without emotional intelligence) than practical solutions to the immigration problem.
Like I said, you are asking for too much, I suspect. If the conservative movement focuses on people of character we will get stomped.
The base is not white voters. The base is voters who identify as Americans, identify as free, and identify as productive. The opposition is voters (real or fictional) who identify as colored, identify as black, identify as Hispanic, identify as gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender/transspecies/transfat/whatever. We do need to focus on the base, but we cannot afford to make that a racial identification.
” Cut Off All Immigration, Focus on White Voters to Win”
There is no simpler or more certain blueprint for getting into the WH and STAYING there.
There is no simpler or more certain blueprint for the decline of the USA than to cut off all immigration. Her idea is bad. When companies can’t bring in top-tier talent they move overseas. Either the foreigners come here to work or the companies move and Americans leave the US.
Which is overwhelmingly white voters
“if there werent wars and constant conflict & bloodshed in the M.E. for instance, there would be much less immigration to the West. That stands true today as over the last 4 decades at least.”.........
The rag heads have been fighting for more than 400 years, don’t expect it to end anytime soon just expect more to arrive.
We are already up to our necks with immigrants and it won’t be long and the entire country will sink due to overload.
Its is beginning to happen.
Especially when the American people not only tolerate such corruption but celebrate it?

I’m chewing through “hellhole” this week.
The base is overwhelmingly white, but it’s foolish to dismiss the Hispanic and Asian conservatives and the (rare) black conservatives. If we focus on white conservatives, we’re dismissing a small but potentially significant group of loyal conservatives who can make a difference. They’ll never vote liberal, but we don’t want them to stay home. Our focus should be race-blind: appeal to conservatives and articulate why everyone benefits from smaller government.
