Not spending my weekend reading a Matt Walsh "think" piece, but I'll say this much. It's disheartening that the only people willing to discuss the disastrous immigration policy pursued by the federal government are charlatans like Donald Trump, who have no reputation to lose. While thoughtful critics of our open door policy are either silenced, a la Jason Richwine, marginalized, or too intimidated to marshal a public case against this disastrous, 5 decade+ national immolation.

Statements like this are repeated many times around here but I do not know where they come from. How about Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama? Ted Cruz talks about it all the time. Marco Rubio talked about it at length even going on conservative talk shows to push his amnesty bill. Jeb talks about it. You may not agree with them but it is talked about.
Now if by “talk” you mean the media, they are only talking about it because they think the way Trump talks about it hurts Republicans. They want Trump’s idiotic comments to be the face of the Republican Party on illegal immigration.
The more this Trump mania goes on the more certain I am that Trump is a stalking horse for the Clintons just like Perot was in 1992. The Republican chances in 2016 were dicey enough given the electoral map. The RATS could nominate Atilla the Hun and he will win 240 electoral votes. If Trump goes third party the nation is screwed.
