Why Doesn't the GOP Elite Give Up on Amnesty?
Today, Trump’s massive rallies can be interpreted as an expression of the historic populist undercurrent animating America’s white working class.Or they can be interpreted, with less sophistication, as Americans saying, as loudly as they can, “WE DON’T WANT YOUR F___ING ‘COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM.'” Either way, anger over elite “more immigration” plans is the molten core of the Trump eruption. Is there any doubt that if “comprehensive immigration reform” went away for good, Trumpism would wither? So why don’t Haley Barbour and Karl Rove call a big K Street meeting where they say, “Boys, we have to throw the damn yahoos this bone. We’re giving up on amnesty”? | Mickey Kaus

Your Say
Amnesty?? We don't need no steenking amnesty!
Americans want what Donald Trump proposes:
Trump’s platform:
1. Mandate e-verify: stop illegals from taking American citizens' jobs
2. Strengthen interior enforcement
3. End visa overstays
4. Stop amnesty!
5. Improve border enforcement
6. Reduce illegal immigration rewards
7. Build the Wall!
8. Create Illegal Alien Hotline
9. Cut off Federal Funding for Sanctuary Cities
10. Create “Sheriff Joe Prisons” for Illegal aliens convicted of committing crimes in the U.S. (beyond the crime of actually being here illegally)
What's wrong with that?!
