CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY FEBRUARY 12, 2018
SOMETIMES SYMBOLISM PERFECTLY DEFINES A PROBLEM.
LIKE THE MEXICAN NATIONAL WHO MANAGED TO GET DEPORTED 44 TIMES IN FIFTEEN YEARS, WHICH OF COURSE MEANS HE WAS ABLE TO SNEAK ACROSS THE BORDER THAT MANY TIMES.
ACCORDING TO INFORMATION PROVIDED TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES BY IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT, HE WAS NOT ALONE. THE RUNNER-UP WAS DEPORTED 40 TIMES FROM 2001 TO 2015, NUMBERS 3, 4 AND 5 ON THE LIST WERE DEPORTED 35, 34 AND 31 TIMES RESPECTIVELY.
TO BE SURE THESE ARE THE MOST EXTREME CASES, AS ARE INCIDENTS WHERE ILLEGALS KILL AMERICAN CITIZENS AND SOMETIMES EACH OTHER. SOME ARE PART OF, OR JOIN GANGS WHEN THEY GET TO AMERICA.
IT IS ONE OF MANY REASONS WE NEED BETTER BORDER SECURITY AND WHY PRESIDENT TRUMP IS RIGHT IN HOLDING OUT FOR IT IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH CONGRESS. DEMOCRATS WANT VOTES. REPUBLICANS WANT CHEAP LABOR. BOTH ARE IGNORING WHAT MOST AMERICANS WANT – BORDER SECURITY AND OBEYING OUR LAWS. I’M CAL THOMAS IN WASHINGTON.
