“He used the ridiculous line about how long a line of buses it would take to remove all illegal aliens, as if anyone was suggesting such a thing.”
I’m all in favor of the Bus Exodus if that’s what it takes. That’s tax money well spent.
But it isn’t necessary. If done right a very large segment of illegals will self-deport, making the line of buses a good deal smaller than George Will’s hysterical prediction.
Actually I’d have not problem with the buses either, but as you say it isn’t necessary. And that is what bothered me about Will using that absurd line.
As an elitist, insulated Beltway insider, was he simply unaware of the attrition through enforcement method preferred by those who oppose amnesty? Or was it that he intentionally misrepresented the views of conservatives who are actually conservative on immigration?
I’d bet it was the latter.
As one who observes the movement of vehicles from Tucson to Nogales, Arizona, the number of vehicles piled high with household goods and returning to Mexico has diminished somewhat in the last year. But it has not ended. At present, Mexico is exporting its gangsters to America’s cities, while undocumented workers are headed home.
