I wish I were as bad an ass as Mark Steyn

Donald Trump has now said that he would reverse President Obama's executive amnesty for "DREAMers" - illegal immigrants who've been here since they were children - and deport every last member of the Undocumented-American community. The amnesty for the kids was supposed to prefigure an amnesty for their parents - for what mean old politician would advocate breaking up families? But, as he told NBC's Chuck Todd, Trump plans to keep the families together by deporting every single one of them:
"We're going to keep the families together, but they have to go," he said in the interview, which will air in full on NBC's "Meet the Press" this Sunday.
Pressed on what he'd do if the immigrants in question had nowhere to return to, Trump reiterated: "They have to go."
"We will work with them. They have to go. Chuck, we either have a country, or we don't have a country."
Now there's a campaign slogan

Mark Steyn is an ass ...
"On immigration both parties are engaged in a conspiracy against the American people. One party gets cheap voters and Big Government dependents; the other gets cheap labor and a chocolate on its turned down coverlet in the junior suite. The Democrats made a smarter deal. The Republicans signed a demographic death warrant."
If so, then we need more asses.
From the article: “In other words, as every functioning society understood until two generations ago, immigration has to benefit the people who are already here. Government owes a duty to its own citizens before those of the rest of the planet - no matter how cuddly and loveable they might be. The fact that it is necessary to state the obvious and that no “viable” “mainstream” candidate from either party is willing to state it is testament to how deformed contemporary western politics is. Trump may not be a “real” Republican or a “real” conservative, but most of his rivals are not “real” - period, as Carly Fiorina would say.”
Love this:
“The retort that Trump is not a “real” Republican or a “real” conservative would of course be a devastating criticism had “real” Republicans and “real” conservatives” in Washington managed actually to “conserve” anything during their time in office. Fiscal prudence? Constrained welfare? Private health care? Religious liberty? There’s no point to a purity test for a party that folds more reliably than the White House valet. As I’ve said, for the Republican establishment the issue is Trump; for a large part of the base the issue is the Republican establishment.”
BOOM! Steyn again nails it!
Why would you say that?
Maybe and Trump may be an @$$ as well. But at least he is an @$$ who has struck a right nerve.
I wish I were as bad an ass as Mark Steyn
I had to laugh at Trump’s remark - they ALL have to go - kids and all. I Love it.
He is right, our gov’t has forgotten that immigration is supposed to benefit those that are already here.
They have to go. NO MORE EXCUSES, NO MORE FEELINGS, NO MORE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, NO MORE COMPASSION SPEECHES FROM SELF SERVING POLITICIANS, NO MORE UNDER HANDED LEGAL MANUVERING BY CORRUPT JUDGES AND LAWYERS. They CHOSE to come here ILLEGALLY, they came to take advantage of the compassion and largess of American citizens who have worked for generations to make a better life for themselves and future generations of American Citizens and LEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
They CHOSE to BREAK THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES for a free ride on the backs of LEGAL IMMIGRANTS and the CITIZENS of the UNITED STATES.
NO MORE.
We graduate two times more Americans with STEM degrees each year than find STEM jobs, yet as much as two-thirds of entry-level hiring for IT jobs is accomplished through the H-1B program.
More than half of H-1B visas are issued for the program’s lowest allowable wage level, and more than eighty percent for its bottom two.
Raising the prevailing wage paid to H-1Bs will force companies to give these coveted entry-level jobs to the existing domestic pool of unemployed native and immigrant workers in the U.S., instead of flying in cheaper workers from overseas.
This will improve the number of black, Hispanic and female workers in Silicon Valley who have been passed over in favor of the H-1B program. Mark Zuckerberg’s personal Senator, Marco Rubio, has a bill to triple H-1Bs that would decimate women and minorities.
Many on FR consistently damn anyone who utters a bad word ( or even a slightly troubling word)t about its loved ones
So a well thought out well expressed opinion that doesn’t enthusiastically promote Trump is rewarded with “ Mark Steyn is an ass ...”
How FR has fallen
Exactly: who put these children in the position in which they find themselves? Their PARENTS. And it’s their parents who will have to explain that they’ve finally been caught after their long-ago lawbreaking and will have to pay the penalty.
What’s the problem?
Given some good poll results and a willingness to say what others want to hear I think any fool could “strike a nerve”
A very smart ass.
"The fact that it is necessary to state the obvious and that no "viable" "mainstream" candidate from either party is willing to state it is testament to how deformed contemporary western politics is.""...the quickest way to get rid of Trump is to steal his issue and run with it."
