Backing Off on Deportations Is a Recipe for a GOP Disaster
Kurt Schlichter
President Trump and his administration need to see the immigration fight through all the way to the end. Illegal immigrants have to go, every single one of them, no exceptions, no special rules, because they’re nice or they have a dog or they’re hanging out in the vicinity of a church or it’s Tuesday and a full moon. Every single one of them needs to be gone. And if we don’t do it, the country is screwed in the long term. In the short term, the Republicans are screwed.
The Republican base is used to being disappointed by weak Republicans. That’s kind of our thing, to have a bunch of these pompous doofuses in Washington DC talk big during the election and then fold like a house of cards as soon as somebody accuses them of being mean. You want to know how you got Trump? That’s how you got Trump.
Currently, there are people in the party who are getting queasy because it’s aesthetically displeasing to watch illegal aliens and their communist allies – including shrill, SSRI-gobbling wine women – be subdued as they resist arrest. It looks icky.
These finicky invertebrates talk a good game about law and order, but they don’t want to accept that law and order is enforced by guys with guns and sticks. This is why we should never elect a Republican who’s never been in a fistfight – too many of them live in this soft, gauzy world of hugs and smiles when we need people who have lived in the ring. They are weak, and they are going to press Donald Trump to slow his roll.
