We — we’re not going to have a situation in which 11 million people are still living in the shadows . . ."<br /><br />Of course if he would just credibly commit to a bullet-proof enforcement mechanism (say, a biometric Social Security card for US citizens and biometric green cards for all legal immigrants, both cards to be fully in place inside of two years) then that would make accepting those 11 million already here a lot easier. They would be the ones who applied for a card, could show they had been living in the country for some time (with children born here for example), but who could not produce documentation to show they had immigrated legally. Does anyone doubt that once the ID cards were in place there would be political support for taking care of those left standing?<br /><br />Of course not. The problem is that they (ie, the "donor class" that bankrolls both parties) don't want illegal immigration to stop. In fact they are quite happy enough with the (non-functioning) system the way it is right now. The status quo is good enough for them.<br /><br />Or at least this is the conclusion I am gradually coming to.Luke Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290760894780619646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-29279602799512939772013-11-20T15:43:10.029-08:002013-11-20T15:43:10.029-08:00Studio audiences laugh out loud at just about anyt...<i>Studio audiences laugh out loud at just about anything they think MAY have been MEANT TO BE funny.</i><br /><br />Don't be so sure.

How can the man talk about enforcing existing law and then, moments later, claim that it's a moral and economic imperative to avoid enforcing existing law?<br /><br />It's mind-boggling how transparently deceitful our leaders are when they talk about border security. They never give any indication that they understand why citizens would even <i>want</i> to have a secure border. Indeed, they celebrate people who have violated our immigration laws, and demand that they be allowed to retain the fruits of doing so.<br /><br />And then they turn around and say, "Yeah, we'll secure the border and build your dang fences." Why? To stop the people they claim are vital to our economy? To stop wonderful folks from putting food on their families?<br /><br />Enforcement of immigration laws is decidedly <i>not</i> the logical conclusion of our leaders' stated beliefs about immigration.<br /><br />They're bald-faced liars, and anyone who believes them is a fool. To borrow a line from Zoolander, "Doesn't anyone notice this?! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!"<br /><br />(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC8y0HoopVE)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-25073264993485885352013-11-20T14:11:30.118-08:002013-11-20T14:11:30.118-08:00Is it really the case that American lose money on ...Is it really the case that American lose money on educating foreign students?<br /><br />The insinuation of Obama and the CEOs is that we've sunk such a huge investment into these foreign students, so we might as well get our money's worth.<br /><br />I would have to imagine, though, that educating foreign students is profitable for American universities at the margin. I doubt a Chinese student imposes costs on Harvard in excess of the six-figure tuition. So even if we lose these precious little snowflakes that we have labored to educate, we still come out ahead.<br /><br />(Also, notwithstanding that I'm the son of a skilled South Asian immigrant myself, the last thing Americans need is further ethnic and cultural discontinuity between the ruling class and the people. That can only benefit the transnational cultural left.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-814957449329346932013-11-20T12:26:53.141-08:002013-11-20T12:26:53.141-08:00Contra to what BO said the gap between Democrats a...Contra to what BO said the gap between Democrats and Republicans on most issues seems as wide or wider than in Europe.
