ONN: Just months after the Big Apple’s most prominent left leaning, anti-Trump daily called the border crisis fake, a leading journalist for the New York Times conceded that America really needs President Donald Trump’s border wall after all, insisting that federal agents must “control our border
The staunchly pro-immigration paper has time and again affirmed its pro-immigration/open borders stance in the face of Trump’s tough-on-immigration policy centered around his $5 billion secure border wall – most recently asserting on its commentary page that the border crisis was merely a figment of Trump’s (and the Republican Party’s) imagination.
“’Mass’ immigration is a myth … by any reasonable metric,” a recent NYT op-ed asserted just weeks ago, according to WND.
This can’t go on …
But after tens of thousands of illegal immigrants breaking over United States’ southern border and taken into custody by federal agents are routinely being released into the country, a top Pulitzer-winning commentator for the Times has finally come to the conclusion that enough is enough – agreeing that maximum border security is a must.
Ultra-left Times columnist Thomas Friedman – one of the daily’s most prominent voices – is now changing his tune regarding the longstanding Democrat-Republican border debate … reluctantly admitting that America actually does need a “high wall” to keep illegals from freely pouring over the southern border, but his solution calls for more of a large gate than a solid robust wall.
He let CNN’s Wolf Blitzer in on his recent change of heart on the immigration matter. more
The democraps see they will loose a lot of votes regarding this issue in 2020 so they will say what is needed to get elected.
I Swear to G*D if these Rinotastic Milquetoast Republicans start calling for the border wall now that the NYT’s says we need one… I going to scream!
AAAAAHHHHHHYHHHHHHHHOHDOIO@!Q*Q98E2130WPEIRJU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Smoke” always goes where the “wind” blows it. . Now that the Left is about to have it’s lungs cut out and can’t blow smoke up everyone’s ass anymore, look where it’s going now. …Smoke in Our faces.
Does this mean that Trump and we deplorables aren’t racist anymore?
This becomes their new battering ram. More bullshit.
They’ll accuse President Trump of failure. They’ll whine that he promised a wall and there is no wall.
By election time the NYT will have the drones convinced that the nyt and the dem party have been for a wall all along that this whitehouse has failed.
I am sick of the convoluted language that equates alien invasion with “immigration”…….
Once the wall is completed, it really would be cheaper to round them up and return them to (at least the south side of the southern border) wherever they came from, than provide them continued services.
Cut off the free shiite, eliminate their opportunities for employment and they will go away.

Will there be a slot in the wall to pass the culturally appropriate meals that the military cooks are preparing for them through?
“…but his solution calls for more of a large gate than a solid robust wall.”
It’s all about control. They need to be able to move the pawns where they want them and then have the pawns vote as instructed. Hordes of uncontrolled mayans running amok outside their system are nothing but political liabilities. And if Trump starts dumping the pawns in Sanctuary Cities, then the pawns, if they somehow manage to vote, will only run up the score in places already owned by Dems.
Open, uncontrolled borders is not working for the Dems like they thought it would, but the gonzo marxists still love Open Borders and will keep pushing it no matter the political cost. I’m sure it mortified the NYT to have to support a tightly controlled border, but the commies they travel with are going to capsize the Dem ship with too many Mayans on board.
Friedman is a trained liar. That’s what he does. This is progressive taqiya plain and simple.
Don’t overlook the time dimension in this change of position. The Dems calculate that some portion of the large number of illegal alien invaders here in the U.S. will end up voting (illegally) mostly for Dem candidates. Over time, the marginal benefit to them fades as swing districts become more blue. At the same time, the same Dem strategists see that a lot of Americans want the wall built and illegal immigration stopped.
It’s a matter of two lines on a graph with a time X-axis: the lessening benefit of the illegals apparently has crossed the increasing line of the benefit to be gained by supporting the wall. It has nothing to do with what’s good for the country, and everything to do with the Dems gaining power.
I think Cher made them do it after Donald gave her
nightmares of having to live with the illegals she
wanted to pour in and thought she never had to see
or live among. (sarc)
Rush mentioned this. Trying to take away Trumps’s influence on immigration because they know open borders is not going to win 2020. Libtard base won’t accept this from candidates.
