Documented Irresponsibility | The American Spectator:
"People who entered the United States illegally may be called “undocumented” in politically correct circles, but what is all too well documented is the utter irresponsibility of both political parties in dealing with immigration issues.
Both Democratic and Republican administrations have left the border with Mexico porous for years — porous not just for Mexicans but for anybody else, including terrorists from the Middle East.
Two very different issues have gotten jumbled together in the political stew called “comprehensive immigration reform.”
The first and most fundamental issue is whether we are going to have an immigration policy at all.
The second issue is: Just what should that immigration policy be?
If we do not control our own border, then we do not have any immigration policy.
We may have immigration laws on the books, but if anybody can cross the border that wants to, those laws are just words on paper and a bad joke.
Polls showing the surprisingly favorable reactions of some Republican voters to Donald Trump’s irresponsible generalities about immigrants probably reflect many people’s frustrations with politicians’ weasel words on the subject, and politicians’ failure to do anything about a festering problem..."
