House Speaker Nancy Pelosi does not believe that a wall would be “ineffective” in preventing illegal immigration. Neither does Sen. Chuck Schumer. How do we know this? Dennis Prager in American Greatness reports: (B)ecause just five years ago, Speaker Nancy Pelosi supported a bill that required the construction of 700 miles of border fencing. And […]
More Than Just a 234 Mile Wall
The media would have Americans believe that President Trump cares only about a border wall. But as Mollie Hemingway notes in the Federalist, a reading of the proposal Trump sent to Congress on January 6, shows a lot more than a 234 mile barrier. 75 additional immigration judges and support staff to reduce the immigration […]
Serious Reform of Immigration and a Secure Border?
A painful truth: neither the Senate nor the House wants to address America’s immigration mess. And that goes for both parties in Congress. Government has failed to deal with immigration, as it has failed with health care, infrastructure, and even abortion, though it at least managed to fumble that into the lap of the courts, […]
The Paradox of Emergency on the Border
Andrew C. McCarthy explains in NRO: Because the president in the current instance is Trump, the commentariat is suddenly exercised, but this is a longstanding problem. Obama had his pen and phone, of course, and decided an emergency — namely, Congress’s refusal to do what he wanted — required an executive rewrite of immigration law. […]
Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer Respond to President Trump
President Trump is “manufacturing a crisis,” Pelosi said. (Pelosi in 2008: “We need to address the issue of illegal immigration and the challenge we have of undocumented people in our country—we certainly don’t want any more coming in.”) Trump’s border wall is “ineffective” and “unnecessary,” Schumer added. (Chuck Schumer in 2009: “630 miles of border fence” made […]
A “Wall” for Israel and Hungary Worked Great
David Harsanyi, Senior Editor at The Federalist wonders if Democrats can explain their position that a wall is “immoral.” He writes (abridged): “A wall, in my view, is an immorality. It’s the least effective way to protect the border and the most costly. I can’t think of any reason why anyone would think it’s a good idea […]
Not about Politics? A Fence or a Wall
What is the difference between a fence and a wall? On immigration, the position of the Nancy Pelosi House (along with many Senate Democrats) is that “fences between countries are sensible and worthy of 10-figure appropriations of taxpayer dollars, but walls in the same locations and serving the same purpose are immoral,” James Freeman notes […]
A Tale of Two Immigrants
Corporal Ronil Singh, an immigrant from Fiji, was shot on the day after Christmas allegedly by an under-the-influence Gustavo Perez Arriaga. Singh stopped Arriaga for a missing license plate, reports Deroy Murdock in NRO. This small-town case has national repercussions. This tale of two immigrants finds Singh and Arriaga as the apotheoses of how Republicans […]
Are There Any Good Reasons to Not Fund the Wall?
Writing at The American Spectator, David Catron details some of what he calls the “asinine” excuses opponents of the border wall have used to justify its currently unfunded state. He cites five, including: By far the most hilarious contribution to this genre was made by rapper Talib Kweli Greene, who took to Twitter and offered […]
Calls to Boycott Tucker Carlson are Absurd
Writing at The Federalist, Emily Jashinsky explains the absurdity of the calls to boycott Tucker Carlson’s show on Fox News over statements he made in a segment he performed on the migrant caravan and its trashing of Tijuana. Jashinsky writes: At no point did Carlson describe people as inherently dirty, nor have his critics actually refuted the […]
