Santorum and the Messy Truth of ImmigrationArthur SchaperPosted: Dec 09, 2016 Quote...here it became clear why he is a force to be reckoned with today. Then and now, Santorum focused on two issues during his two campaigns, which he had outlined in his book Blue Collar Conservatives:1. Help Americans without college degrees to compete and win in the United States. Rebuild the industrial and manufacturing base of this country.2. Stop illegal immigration, which has particularly harmed poor, working, and middle-class Americans.The Rust Belt, the industrial core of this country has been eaten out, and much of it do to unscrupulous business practices combined with government mismanagement and micromanaging, all of which made this country far less competitive. Santorum implicitly understands how illegal immigration is hurting working Americans, while the majority of the Republican (and Democratic) Parties have been ignoring these issues.Granted, blue-collar hero Ronald Reagan granted amnesty to 3.5 million illegal aliens living in the country. They had broken the law, either though illegal entry or unlawful presence. Yes, the “rule of law” still matters and is facing unprecedented attackWithout the rule of law, without enforcement, we have: Corruption Anarchy Apartheid, in which there is one set of laws for those in power, another for those who are notWe simply cannot have that.http://townhall.com/columnists/arthurschaper/2016/12/09/santorum-and-the-messy-truth-of-immigration-n2257142
