After all is said and done, this witty, high IQ woman is simply a goof, the kind who spreads her legs for the demonic Bill Maher. Very sad.
No kidding. I used to admire her, but the past year she’s more like a democrat.
Just waiting for her to be hired by cnn.
Just go away ann.
I don’t think Coulter wants a socialist America; rather, I think this is just her desperate attempt to remain relevant in political discourse ... sad to say.
“It’s rhetoric... (to) make a point.”
Is that point that a Democrat Bernie Administration would be stronger on immigration than the Trump Administration?
That would either be foolish, or a lie.

Because?
Coulter is pointing out correctly that, with over half his term gone, Trump has failed to deliver on his promises regarding immigration.
By the numbers of third-worlders pouring “LEGALLY” into our homeland, almost zero of what candidate Trump promised has been carried out, and this is essentially Obama’s third term. Beyond some refugee restrictions, nothing significant has changed. Chain migration continues, DACA remains, the Visa Lottery remains, TPS remains, etc. And Trump has even called for increased legal labor migration.
By the numbers of 3rd-worlders pouring ILLEGALLY across our southern border (assisted by a border patrol ordered to stand down the teargas) we’re in a situation beyond Obama’s wildest population-replacement fantasies.
It’s more akin to a to post-war situation - in which we lost the war. The invaders have even effectively commandeered our defeated security forces’ vehicles, for transport further into the interior.
Coulter is making a somewhat silly rhetorical flourish by pointing to Sanders’ and the old-school Left’s now-abandoned concern about immigration wage suppression. That concern is ancient history. The Left is now all-in on victory through population replacement, wages be damned. A President Sanders would do no better than President Trump in slowing the legal/illegal invasion.
But the tragedy is that both are so much worse than 2016 Candidate Trump. That guy was awesome. I voted for and gave money to that guy.
“Importing 100K refugees a month from the 3rd world IS BY DEFINITION imposing socialism on the USA.”
No, it is not.
I am not in favor of the the uncontrolled immigration we have - just pointing out that the definitions of implementing socialism and importing a huge load of refugees are not the same thing.
I see your point that it could eventually lead to it, but saying “BY DEFINITION” is misstating the relationship.
“Meanwhile a hundred thousand illegals a month are crossing our border”
A hundred thousand are caught, and some additional number are not caught.
I mean that I am glad he is bringing back a steel industry. I would like to see Detroit produce something other than angry mouths to feed.
I think your reply meant to say that there ARE millions of Americans in the “work force”, and not that there AREN’T (since that is consistent with your message). But what is that “work force”? We’ve been outsourcing vital, productive jobs for decades.
Caught and released. Heck most just look for someone to surrender to and demand sanctuary.
When the first invader caravan was coming, Trump said they would not get in. The border patrol used some riot control agents, the press screamed “gassing children!”, and that was that. Now the border patrol just fills out forms and transports the invaders further into our homeland.
The word is out: Show up at the border and you get in. (and you get to stay). Some additional fencing, now or years from now, doesn’t change the equation. Rapid removals are needed. Do it Mr. President.
“nothing significant has changed. Chain migration continues, DACA remains, the Visa Lottery remains, TPS remains, etc.”
Chain migration requires Congress to change the law.
DACA withdrawal was enjoined by the courts.
Visa Lottery requires Congress to change the law.
TPS withdrawal was enjoined by the courts.
President Trump made significant efforts to get all of those fixed - but others have impeded his policies.
“nothing significant has changed.”
Did you notice that the President has declared a State of Emergency to authorize a total of $8 billion this year for building border wall? DoD has already issued contracts for a billion dollars worth.
The San Diego border barrier is already transformed, from what was there when the caravan famously tried to storm the border there last year. An entire 14 mile run of 18 foot bollards (which the caravan folks were unable to overcome) now runs the whole 14 miles of the urban area, and a second run of 30 foot bollards will be done around Christmas.
About a half dozen Executive orders have been issued (starting the first week after the inauguration) that significantly impact immigration. The most famous, the so-called Muslim Ban, has overcome the initial court challenges, and is now in effect. Lots of other changes have been implemented because of those EO’s, throughout the whole Government. Significant new law enforcement and Intelligence assets have been targeted against organized crime cartels that traffic illegals into our country.
The Military has been deployed to assist Border Patrol. They have emplaced hundreds of miles of concertina, and continue to do so, as well as hardening Ports of Entry.
Foreign aid has been suspended to El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, and other significant diplomatic pressure has been put on Mexico, such as giving them a deadline enforced by crippling tariffs.
A new “Wait in Mexico” policy for asylum applicants was put in place, enjoined by a court, and will be heard by the 9th Circuit on 24 April.
The largest ever classes of immigration judges have been graduating, and the backlog of immigration cases has turned the corner from increasing to decreasing.
Currently, there is a Government-wide series of actions taking place to deny or revoke public benefits from illegal aliens, to roll out over the next few months. HUD came out with new rules for public housing just yesterday.
The reality is that immigration is President Trump’s biggest issue, and he has been riding his staff hard on this since his first day on the job. No one else would put in the effort that he has.
When you make a souffle out of your own career, you first must scramble a few brain cells.
She must have thought endorsing Pete B was too obvious.
She is right to keep needling Trump and the rest of us on this issue.
With the handful of others who have stuck to their principles.
I am glad that Trump is doing those things. They might have a minor effect on the numbers. I would have greatly preferred, however, that he had demanded something, anything, from the GOP congress his first two years instead of signing multiple wall-less, reduction-less spending bills.
In the end, only the numbers count. If Trump doesn’t produce a significant reduction in 3rd-world migration, his presidency was meaningless.
“In the end, only the numbers count. If Trump doesn’t produce a significant reduction in 3rd-world migration, his presidency was meaningless.”
and that has to include LEGAL immigration, which was the great driver of California’s transformation
