Trump should remember that he was not the first choice of many
true conservatives. Ted Cruz had a large
following, too, and if he decides to run again in 2020, he may unseat Trump if
the current president continues his rudderless trip through troubled
immigration waters like another boatload of so-called (mostly Muslim) refugees
headed for Europe's border-less society.
First of all, Trump's
proposed Border Wall is a waste of time and money and would be a
concession of thousands of acres of border land to Mexico where citizens will
no longer have access. Border Treaties have made the center of the Rio Grande
the International boundary, and that is a lot of land to give away--even more
than LBJ gave away with his "Chamizal Settlement." Naive El Pasoans once proposed "river
walks" along the Rio Grande, and if Mexico ever tosses out the cartels,
such projects might be feasible--if it is not fenced off by a wall..
Trump';s announcement last week that the so-called Dreamers
can now rest easy and not fear deportation was a broad, ill-conceived
statement. Actually the Dream Act never
passed Congress and conservatives continue to oppose it. It has never been a
law--only a proposal. Obama created DACA
based upon the imaginary law that never passed Congress, recruiting future applicants,
aiding and abetting their illegal entry into the U.S. to grow the Democrat
Party. Now, Trump is showing his
globalist colors by also assuming that if presidents can continue giving these
still unclassified illegal aliens
breaks, the conservatives will come around and accept it. Some ill-informed
ones will.
Congress has consistently failed to pass the Dream Act into
law after many attempts (see URL below) beginning with the Bush 43
Administration in 2001. It was just one
of several of Bush's proposed amnesties that he always described as "not
amnesties," that never made it though Congress. It spelled the demise of Marco Rubio and John
McCain's campaigns for the nation's highest office, since they were members of
the Gang of 8 that Bush 43 commissioned unsuccessfully to get yet another
massive immigration amnesty passed into law.
Many Americans accepted Bush as
puppet of globalists, but now, most Americans are smarter than the
puppet--at least they seem to have been until
now--while Trump takes his swing at the curve ball foisted upon us by
globalist, open-border advocates and their think tanks. Many of Trump's apparent supporters are
jurors still out from openly supporting him, very circumspect about his
apparent willingness to propagate the fictional immigration monster called
"Dreamers." The overwhelming
majority of Trump's supporters voted for his as the lesser of two evils, the
other choice being Hillary Clinton. By
no means does Trump have a mandate, and his low supporter percentage, 42%, is
bound to sink much lower unless he does an about face on coddling the illegal
wannabe "dreamers." Some, including myself, think Trump just came out
as a true closet globalist who has, up to now, duped his conservative base.
The only way any politician can convince the majority of
Americans that he/she is sincere about controlling illegal immigration is to
defeat organized crime in Government by passing a law requiring a national
identity card. That would shift the
burden of proof from ICE to applicants for employment and immediately identify
unscrupulous employers of illegal aliens and make life much tougher on
criminals, especially identity thieves.
