“You told us he was a clownfart. If you don’t tell us Trump is a clownfart we won’t know what to think!” -#NeverTrump
Trump’s plan, even in its most primitive iterations, always has been based on the entirely commonsensical principle that America’s immigration policy should serve American interests. Taking this as a starting point, Trump laid out a ten-point policy that emphasizes securing the border, enforcing immigration laws, prioritizing the removal of criminal aliens, and creating the legal and economic disincentives necessary to reduce illegal immigration in the long term.
These are the right priorities. On border security, Trump renewed his commitment to a “physical” wall on the southern border (as well as, alas, his absurd promise that Mexico would pay for it), pledged to swell the ranks of the understaffed Immigrations and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agencies, and vowed to deploy technology, such as below-ground sensors, to aid them. He also promised an end to the catch-and-release policies that have defined the Obama-era commitment (or lack thereof) to border security and to defund sanctuary cities (an initiative that would, of course, have to come out of Congress). And as Trump noted, about half of America’s illegal-immigrant population overstayed legally gotten visas, meaning that a comprehensive visa-overstay tracking system of the sort he is proposing is also crucial part of any real enforcement agenda.
Trump would add to this an expanded use of E-Verify, which would help prevent employers from exploiting illegal labor and so make it more difficult for illegal immigrants to find work. “Turning off the jobs and benefits magnet,” to use Trump’s words, would make the prospect of entering and residing in the country less enticing for foreigners.
…deportation is still a necessary tool. Trump has rightly determined to focus limited government resources on criminal aliens — illegal aliens residing in the country who have committed crimes. This superficially resembles the Obama administration’s stated enforcement policy, but, of course, the administration has gutted interior enforcement, while Trump is promising to strengthen it dramatically. Additionally, Trump says that “we will reform legal immigration to serve the best interests of America and its workers.” One element should be a major reduction in low-skilled legal immigration, a glut of which over the past several decades predictably has held down wages in low-skill jobs. Also, the use of high-skilled workers to undercut their American counterparts in the tech industry shows the need to reform the H-1B visa program.
…on the merits, Trump has put forward a responsible immigration agenda.
this reminds me
pamela anderson now says porn is bad
i guess anyone can cum around
Tonight Mark Levin also praised Trump’s plan, but then added that it sounded much like what Cruz proposed.
Mark Levin has no dick.
but then added that it sounded much like what Cruz proposed.>>>
And Levin’s point is????
You get the feeling that Cruz and Trump could have the exact same platform and they still would paint Trump as a MADMAN because they’re angry Cruz didn’t win.
#neverTrump becoming #EverTrump? Hope they are really hungry because they cooked up a lot of crow.
@Big Fur, i dont feel particularly sorry for reichcoupe. Its a mystery to me why someone would purposely stab themselves in the back banning people by the hundreds. And I got banned. Me. Ol’ milquetoast Charlie. I mean if they couldnt handle me, can you imagine the shitfit they had over bad_brad?
^^^ Opps, supposed to be on a different thread. To many windows open.
Too bad levin is now a confirmed liar. Cruz welcomed the baby border crossers (with tattoos) with open arms, teddy bears and soccer balls. As the punchline goes: “Oh, we’ve determined what you are, now we’re just haggling over the price.”
I will never forget that NR was the official birth of #NT and now we’re supposed give careful consideration to their opinions of Trump? That’s rich. Too bad for them. If their hashtag movement was and is so successful, what care have they of the rightness of Trump’s “primitive iterations”? I hope they all expire whilst sitting around reading each others’ books and listening to krauthammer’s Greatest Hits on bret bier’s panel. Death to the intellectual “True Conservatives, Inc.”
Did this happen to anyone else? Thurs. I received an e-mail newsletter from the NR. I never signed up for that crap and haven’t been to the site in ages.
Levin is so tightly wrapped up in himself he can’t see straight! The blowhard took the wrong path, painted himself in a corner and has no ability to admit it.

And yet, you still garnered 3 TUs as I write this. lol
I wonder how much their readership/online traffic
dropped in the last months.
Schadenfreude!
CoD — Their drop in audience share IS the ONLY reason they’re “coming around.” To wit: “We already know what you are, now we’re just haggling over price.” Fortunately, people know a shop worn piece of merchandise when they see one.
Makes me wonder what’s going on over at the RightPoopScoop. But I’ll be damned if I’m going to give them one more hit.
With Levin’s praise of Trump there it always a “but” ????
