“If Tuesday’s installment of the Democratic presidential
“debate” was dopey, featuring candidates discussing “dark psychic forces” while
others claimed that unworkable environmental proposals could be paid for by
merely raising taxes on a few Wall Street fat cats, Wednesday’s sequel was
downright depressing. There was near unanimity among the candidates that the
world will end by 2030 and that the U.S. is a racist, sexist hell-hole defined
by injustice and cruelty. Despite a strong economy and low unemployment, they
insisted Americans are hurting. And, 10 years after foisting Obamacare on us,
they told us that our health care system must be fixed.

COLUMN OF THE WEEK
Ann Coulter 7/29
How we became the world's suckers on immigration.
Looking
at our immigration policies compared to the rest of the world, you’d think
America lost a bet. The United States is one of only two developed
countries in the world with
full “birthright citizenship,” meaning that any child born when his mother was
physically present within the geographical borders of the U.S. automatically
gets a U.S. birth certificate and a Social Security card.
That
means legal immigrants, pregnant women sneaking in on tourist visas, travelers
on a three-week vacation, cheap foreign workers on “temporary” visas and, in
some cases, foreign diplomats…..And that’s not all.
We’re
the only country but two that confers automatic citizenship on children born to
illegal aliens, or “anchor babies.” This is not “birthright citizenship,” which
refers to children born to legal immigrants. (There’s nothing vulgar,
bigoted, racial or sexual about the term “anchor baby.” It’s a boating metaphor:
A geographical U.S. birth “anchors” the child’s entire family in this country
by virtue of the baby’s citizenship.)
The
other two countries that grant citizenship to anchor babies are Canada and
Tanzania. Canada doesn’t have Latin America on its border, of course — and
Tanzania is reconsidering the policy.
Here’s
a fun fact: Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman — the notorious Mexican drug lord,
sentenced on July 17 to life plus 30 years for drug trafficking and multiple
murder conspiracies — has two children who are American, born in sunny
California to his wife, who’s an anchor
baby herself.
Why
would any country make the calculated decision to reward illegal immigration by
granting the full privileges of citizenship to the children of illegals or
foreign visitors who arrange to have the births take place on its soil? As a
matter of fact, “we” didn’t make such a decision.
The
late Supreme Court Justice William Brennan invented the anchor-baby
policy out of whole cloth and snuck it into a footnote of an opinion
written in 1982.
Yes, this ancient bedrock principle, this essence of “Who We Are,” dates all
the way back to the Reagan administration. The Brennan footnote was not part of
the decision. It does not have the force of law. Yet, today, we act as if
Brennan’s absurd dicta is the law of the land for no reason other than: a)
sheer ignorance and b) a fear of being called “racist.”
No
U.S. Congress or Supreme Court ever debated and then approved the idea that
children born to mothers illegally present in the country should automatically
become citizens. Consequently, any president or Congress could simply state
that children born to illegal aliens are not citizens. If only we had a
president or Congress that would do so. Which reminds me: No other country
fawns over illegal immigrants brought in as minors, day in and day out, calling
them “Dreamers.”
The
U.S. is one of the rare countries that makes citizens of people who can’t
speak the language…….the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Australia, Norway
and the Netherlands all have the crazy idea that citizens should be able to
communicate with one another. We have a language requirement on the books but,
it turns out, that too is merely a suggestion.
No
other country holds a “lottery” in which the prize is U.S. citizenship….We
bring in 50,000 lucky lottery winners each year, literally for no reason at
all. (Thanks, First President Bush!) To enter, you must be from a specified
country, like the Congo, Nepal, Ethiopia or Uzbekistan. You submit your name to
the State Department and, if your name is pulled out of a hat, WELCOME TO
AMERICA!
This
rigorous system for choosing our fellow citizens gave us, for example, Egyptian
national Hesham Mohamed Ali Hedayet, who opened fire at the El Al Airlines ticket counter at Los
Angeles International Airport in 2002, murdering two people. His wife had won
the lottery five years after he came here on a tourist visa. It got us Sayfullo
Saipov, the Uzbeki who
plowed a rented truck into a crowd of bicyclists and pedestrians on Halloween
2017 in New York City, killing eight and injuring many more. It bestowed upon
us Akayed Ullah,
the Bangladeshi national who got in as the nephew of a lottery winner.
Ullah enriched us by detonating a bomb in New York City’s Port Authority in
December 2017.
Speaking
of nephews of Bangladeshi lottery winners trying to blow up the Port Authority,
no other major country in the world issues a majority of its visas to people
based on the fact that they have a relative already living here. We’re not
talking about the spouses and minor children of immigrants we really want.
These are adult siblings, nephews and nieces— who have their own adult
children, elderly parents and mothers-in-law. Two-thirds of all legal
immigrants to the U.S. come in on these “family reunification” visas. (We
wouldn’t want our immigrants to be illiterate, poor and lonesome.)
Even
the New York Times —
despite its decidedly anti-MAGA bent — has described our “family reunification”
system as wildly out of step with the rest of the world. We’re in a buyer’s
market but, instead of taking the top draft picks, we aggressively recruit the
desperately poor, the culturally deprived, the sick and the needy. All because
American elites seem to believe that it’s unfair — even snooty — to try to
bring in the best immigrants we can.

FROM OTHER COLUMNS
“…politicians
in Washington….are
truly the last true racists in America. With all their pollsters and their
“message gurus” they racially profile American voters. They divide them all up
based on the color of their skin, their race, their religion and their sex. Then
they tailor special — often competing — messages to all their different race
groups and pit them all against one another. It is bald racial profiling that
if any other industry in America were to try it they would be shut down
tomorrow. By the federal government. It is true what they say. The federal
government doesn’t like competition. And President Trump is still the least racist person in
the world.”
-Charles Hurt, Washington Times
“Progressivism isn’t about helping the people beneath you;
it’s about establishing your moral superiority. Democrats support the status
quo in Baltimore. It doesn’t bother them. That’s not surprising. They created
modern Baltimore. The city hasn’t had a Republican mayor in more than 50 years.
Things really began to fall apart after the 2015 riots. The Obama
administration imposed a consent decree on the city’s police department that
radically restricted its ability to protect citizens. Not surprisingly, crime
exploded.”
-Tucker Carlson
"The next person who tells me that something I think or
say is “racist” I intend to answer with one word: “Good.” It will mean I must
have something right. Because “raaacist” is the only thing that mental midgets
can think of to hurl when rational argument has failed them. It has zero ability
to affect me any more. If everything is racist, then nothing is.”

Limbaugh Praises Trump's Baltimore Tweets: 'About Time
Somebody Pushed Back'.
“At long last, we have someone in a position of power who
isn't afraid to utter the truth in public….Decent Americans of all colors have
silently watched out-of-control black criminals destroy city after city because
raising any questions, doubts, or objections bring down storms of
career-destroying, job-ending accusations of white racism or Uncle Tomism.”
“…turn
on any news channel and you will hear crazed politicians, politicos and
ink-stained gasbags blathering on and on about how “racist” Mr. Trump is
for calling out the disgusting, deplorable and totally unacceptable conditions in Baltimore. Like many
cities in America, Baltimore is run entirely by Democrats and has been for a
half-century. Like many cities in America also, Baltimore
is a festering petri dish of Democratic policy proposals in action. The result
is staggering crime, suffocating poverty and a profound hopelessness that would
never be acceptable among people with an ounce of political clout. Instead of
political clout, Baltimore has to rely on the leadership of people like Rep.
Elijah E. Cummings, a Democrat who has been “representing” his constituents in Washington
for 25 years. How is
that working out for you?”
