It can’t come soon enough.
This woman is the kind of political leader we need.
To maximize the political benefit, we need to do two things:
(1) Never, ever to look like we are indifferent or uncaring to the people trying to get into the US illegally. We have to be careful here. Some of them are full-blown career criminals. Others are just young men looking for work. And some are genuine refugees fleeing Cuban or Venezuelan socialism, or the gangsters who dominate some Latin American countries.
The Left will try to paint us as uncaring selfish racists. We must not play into their hands. A group which seems to me to know how to project the right image here is the Texas Border Recon group [ https://texasborderrecon.org/ ] Their website is worth studying with respect to how they frame their work.
Exactly what we should be doing, in additin to securing the border, is another discussion, but one idea: surely there are patriotic military men in gang-dominated countries like El Salvador, whom we could help – perhaps after an adjustment in the government – hunt down and recycle the gangs? I won’t go into details about what that might concretely involve here.
(2) We need to nail the Democrats to the wall: are for, or against, effectively Open Borders?
I’ve been on lots of other discussion forums where not-far-Left Democrats are, and they always try to wriggle out of this question.
The Hard Left is openly for Open Borders (most of them): A common slogan at their rallies is “No Borders, No Wall, No USA at All.” (Well, at least we can’t say we don’t know what we’re up against.)
But the Democrat tops want to bring in millions of new voters, while at the same time denying they’re doing it. We have to make them declare: for or against what Governor Lake is doing in Arizona. No Democrat running for office should be allowed to be ambiguous on this.
Now … how can we do this? Literally, what can the dozen or so people who regularly contribute to this forum, actually DO to fight the Left?
That’s another discussion.
The US needs to seal its borders and enforce the laws of immigration.
The granting of asylum is at the discretion of the federal state.
