So the old Arab fear of the Persians has finally taken hold again. Good. About time they realized the real enemy. Too bad our idiot President does not.

It's interesting to read something from the New Republic - "a mission-driven media organization. We promote novel solutions for today's most critical issues."
Novel, progressive solutions - like Cruz is much crazier than Trump.

I'm not arguing with you g(r)om. It's to let the tl:dnr crowd know that it's not what one would call 'legitimate media.'

Set aside for a moment all the controversies over illegal immigration--the wall, deportation, amnesty, Donald J. Trump, "comprehensive immigration reform," etc. Instead, contemplate what happens in a social, cultural, and economic context when several million immigrants arrive from one of the poorest areas in the world (e.g., Oaxaca) to one of the most affluent (e.g., California). For guidance, think not of Jorge Ramos, but of the premodern/postmodern collision that is occurring in Germany, Austria, and Denmark.

If me of the folks that are Trump-aphobic were to read this article - I know it has a lot of words, and some of them are big words, too - they might develop an understanding of Trump's popularity.
You don't have to agree with Trump to understand his appeal.

It's very simple, Bobby. I want a guy who will secure the damn border. Trump is the only candidate who is even talking about it. Apart from that I want a guy who is not beholden to the Chinese and the Soddies. Is that really too much to ask?

VDH is spot on. The idea to not only tolerate and to some degree encourage lawlwssness amongst non-citizens is beyond "weird". Unless there's a Clowerd-Piven type strategy at work it's counterintuitive to believe that poverty stricken cultural enclaves are in anyway benificial. And BTW, Trumps fantastical "solutions" do nothing to address this dynamic.

Trumps fantastical "solutions" do nothing to address this dynamic.
Maybe. Maybe not. But, like he said in one of the first debates, if he hadn't started talking about it nobody else would have. If nothing else he lit a fire under some big fat asses. I like that. Here in San Diego, on the border, I've seen my fill of what illegal immigration can do. I'm sick and tired of Bush-Clinton trying to ignore it.

I would be happy with someone who will will call it what it is - a border security issue - instead of what it isn't - an immigration issue.
You want to make a change in the immigration forms, requirements, processes, and/or fees - that would be an immigration issue. You want to grant 20+ million people amnesty for violating federal law and violating our borders - that is a border security issue.

that is a border security issue No. I call it a "unilateral abdication of national sovereignty issue". For the DL-DNR crowd, call it "national suicide".
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
