Myths About Afghanistan
Victor Davis Hanson on whether Afghanistan is really the "graveyard of empires ..."
Yesterday Bush spoke again on immigration, pushing the same policy we have heard from him day after day. Where does this come from? Is Rove such a inept political adviser that he has not warned him off of this policy? The AP reports:
“There are those here in Washington who say, `Why don’t we just find the folks and send them home,’” Bush said. “That ain’t gonna work.”
He said although it sounds simple, it is impractical to insist that the 12 million illegal immigrants estimated to be living in the U.S. leave and come back legally.
As I have said in earlier posts, this is a smokescreen. A ruse. A decoy. If you punish employers who hire illegals, the illegals will go home on their own. As for the practicality of insisting, I cannot find any reason that it is impractical to insist anything. In fact, I insist right now as I write. I insist that Bush stop pushing his loser immigration policy. There. It worked. I successfully insisted something.
If he means that it is impractical to make it happen, of course, this is a lie. It’s easy. Put employers who hire illegals in prison. The practice of hiring illegals will end immediately.
Here is a prediction in two parts: (a) few if any Republican House members up for (re)election will support Bush’s loser immigration policy, or (b) any Republican House member who is up for (re)election and who does support Bush’s loser immigration policy will lose. Why? Because it is a loser immigration policy.
