close and seal all US borders. 0 new immigration for 20 years
“Just as conservative candidates for President cannot be selected if they support abortion, Obamacare or gun control, Ponnuru explains that the new litmus test of conservatism is immigration. Conservatives are now starting to see a candidate’s position on immigration as an index of his conservatism in general, Ponnuru writes.”
Looks like it took the GOPe rough AN ENTIRE DECADE to realize that Immigration is “not just another issue”, but even MORE IMPORTANT to most of us than even gun control...since if you flood the country with Democrats, the GOP position on gun control (or any other issue) simply will not matter (aka, California).
It finally boiled over this campaign. The GOPe can be with us on 100 other issues, but if they’re not with us on immigration, WE ARE THROUGH WITH THEM. They either need to accept what we want and come along, or we will PUSH THEM OUT OF THE WAY.
That simple.
disable thing = desirable thing
AMEN!
Very well said.
Conservatives are very concerned about immigration for obvious reasons. For example, there will be nothing American left to conserve if we let it become Mexico-North. Like most conservatives, I’m not opposed to immigration under our terms. As long as immigrants want to truly assimilate and fill a particular need—no problem, but that’s not what’s happening. They aren’t assimilating, and they’re taking jobs from Americans. That’s not right and has to stop!
They are now fully enamored with the Santa Clause party, offering them more and more of "our stuff!"
I guess the real question about immigration is - Why do all the other counties in the world suck? Why makes all the other countries so horrible that their people want to leave?
As well it should be. Republican Party/conservatism/America won’t survive unless there’s functional control over immigration.
