Though President Donald Trump’s border wall has long alienated Democrats of all stripes, some conservatives are cooling on the idea as well, since they see other border security measures as more important and effective.
According to a Wednesday Politico report, hardliners are much more gung-ho about measures like E-Verify and reducing legal immigration than a few miles of wall.
“President Trump was elected to put forth a multi-pronged approach to immigration, not just build a couple hundred miles of border barriers,” RJ Hauman, government relations director at the pro-enforcement Federation for American Immigration Reform, told Politico. “It’s disappointing to see what he’s doing now.”
“Ultimately a border wall is less important than interior enforcement, including E-Verify,” Reihan Salam, executive editor of National Review, added.
Yup. Bound to happen. Everything gets boring after a while, especially when you are a one-trick pony.
OT a bit, but interesting: Now that Madam Speaker has called Spankee to heel, Pootie is doing the same by telling him to butt out on Venezuela, where Spankee is supporting the opposition leader and Pootie isn’t.
If we see a change in US posture on this in the next few days, we’ll know just how tightly Pootie has twisted Spankee’s balls.
Warning: Collusion ahead.
The last thing Trump, and his supporters in the business world, want is effective interior enforcement. Putting effective systems in place that would lead to the reduction of undocumented workers or punish employers who hire them is exactly what they do not want. Vilify undocumented immigrants and build a wall that does essentially nothing to stop their presence in the workforce is one thing, punish employers, heaven forbid.
Lol at republican donors allowing e-verify to pass. That might actually do something about illegal immigration. Then those same asshats know they’ll have to push for more legal immigration to keep the cheap labor supply train running which will be a nightmare dealing with their base.
Making Coulter and Limbaugh and FoxNews and the rest of that rancid lot eat shit can only be good for America.
