Harrop: Get real with immigration

What would a sensible immigration policy look like? It would have three goals: be humane, enforce the laws, and meet America’s need for labor. This can happen only if our political fringes get out of the way.

Some on the far right simply don’t like most of the immigrants, mainly because of their color. There’s little room for discussion here. Today’s immigrants come from everywhere. They are essential to our economy. And they’re every bit as good as the people who came before.

It does not follow, however, that everyone who wants to come here should be allowed to stay. And that said, there’s no excuse for treating impoverished people without papers in a cruel manner. The Trump administration policy of separating undocumented immigrant parents from their children is nothing less than barbaric.

Harrop is another in an endless queue of jurno clowns who
mouth off every instant they get a spasm in their rectum.
Immigration was/is constrained/governed by the concept of
Sovereign Right; articulated in the Treaty of Westphalia some
400 years ago. Any serious jurno starts there w/immigration.
