If Michael Reagan can’t see a difference between someone from Des Moines - a US citizen, and someone from Juarez- an illegal, then he’s not worth messing with any more.
Go find Chuck deVore’s column “California vs Texas” instead.
It’s not clear to me that he can’t see a difference between a citizen and an illegal. What I hear him saying is the leftist response to illegals is what has caused the problem. If the laws as they were in 1965 were inforced as written, illegals would not be a problem. The liberals in Clownifornia decided not to enforce the law and, instead, voted to extend an endless stream of unpaid for benefits to illegals and others. It is the state government and the leftists who put them there that are the problem that will destroy the place.
