Children at the Border

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 20, 2018

LIKE A FOOTBALL TEAM THAT CONTINUES TO RUN THE SAME PLAY AGAINST AN OPPONENT BECAUSE THE OTHER TEAM CAN’T DEFEND AGAINST IT, DEMOCRATS AND THEIR MEDIA ALLIES HAVE TROTTED OUT CHILDREN TO ADVANCE THEIR IMMIGRATIONAGENDA.

A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH REMINDS OF BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON WHO OPPOSED ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND SUPPORTED A BORDER WALL BEFORE THE POSSIBILITY OF TURNING ILLEGALS INTO DEMOCRAT VOTERS ENTICED THEM TO FLIP THEIR POSITION.

MUCH OF THIS IS POLITICAL THEATER AND REPUBLICANS – THE OTHER TEAM IN THIS FOOTBALL ANALOGY – ARE NOT EVEN TRYING TO DEFEND THE LAWS, FEARING FOR THEIR POLITICAL LIVES. SO THEY ABANDON THE ARGUMENT OVER LAW ENCFORCEMENT TO THE DEMOCRATS’ EMOTIONAL APPEAL.

ARE LAWS TO BE ENFORCED, OR IS EMOTION A LAW OF ITS OWN? SOMEONE HAD BETTER ANSWER THAT QUESTION BECAUSE ALMOST ANY LAW CAN BE SUPERCEDED BY EMOTION UNDER SUCH A FORMULA.

THE GAPS IN THE LAW CAN BE FIXED, BUT DEMOCRATS PREFER THE ISSUE TO SOLUTIONS, AS THEY DO WITH ALMOST EVERYTHING ELSE. IT DOESN’T HELP THAT SO MANY REPUBLICANS ARE GIVING UP WITHOUT A FIGHT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
