It’s standard protocol: Anybody not slavishly enthusiastic about the favored candidate is subjected to Five Minutes Freephate.
I received it when I complained about W not defending himself or his supporters, also when I pointed out how much more experience Ronald Reagan had compared to Sarah Palin.
It’s not rational, it’s completely emotional, like a 10-year-old’s reaction when told he can’t have the latest toy: “I hate you I hate you I hate you!”
After some thinking I’ve decided that my “stand” on illegal immigration is not quite written in stone.
For while I assert that my lawn guy Beelow should not be directly deported along with his American-born son....it’s really more I don’t THINK that’s going to happen.
Because if Beelow and his son and his entire family were to be summarily sent back to Ecuador as Trump says (which he does not, more on this later) you’ll not see me out on the street fighting to re-import Beelow, son and/or any of his family.
He had enough time to know what was going down, to know that sooner or later the hatchet would fall. Seems to me he could have gotten LEGAL citizenship, as could many of these illegals.
My point being you pick your battles and fighting for Beelow and any other illegal is not my battle. I do not think, however, that it’s going to happen that way.
There will be law-abiding and hard-working illegals who need desperate medical care and this will make good copy. There will be cutie pies like little Jaden who will lose much needed schooling.
I don’t know the cause and I’ve said often I don’t know the cure. But if I were to wake up a week after Trump’s election and discover that all the illegals, including Beelow, had been successfully deported, I’d be okay with that.
I just don’t think it’s going to happen.
And on that note, I watched Kelly, Trump’s new campaign manager on an interview somewhere today.
I will paraphrase her: “Once we build a wall so that nobody can just walk over the border, once we make E-verify a requirement, once we deport all criminals here illegally, once we determine who was born here and who not....well after all that we can sit back and look at our options.”
That’s pretty vague because she knows that no way, no how, are the Beelows and Jadens of the world going to be directly deported.
I still think MY way is how it will go down.
