    National Review Admits Trump’s Immigration Policy Is Tough and Sensible

    “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.

So why if it is sensible policy is it festooned with the senseless provocation that "Mexico will pay for it"?

Why the hell should Mexico pay for it?   Mexicans come here to work,  and Americans are willing to employ them, because our government has long viewed it as a victimless transaction.   Mexicans smuggle drugs here, and Americans are (voraciously) willing to consume them, because our government creates the conditions for a black market. 

What's wrong with being good neighbors with Mexico, working together to solve common problems and create common opportunities?    All the "sensible policy" in the world is bullshit when peddled by a demagogue leeching off of the volk's fears.

The problem isn't whether the policy is good or not. The problem is whether he is going to do it or not. He changes his story on every single thing coming out of his wrinkled old mouth.....in other words he is a liar.

The point is you cannot trust Trump

And no doubt, fleeting.

Trump should exploit the situation and say that if Obama shuts down Guatanomo, he will repurpose it by sending all illegals there as it is not US soil and let them find their way home, or wander around their new island home and find out how the locals receive them.

Delicious irony against Fidel and Raul who dumped his trash on our soil.

Good idea.
