Republican Elites: You Can't Secure The Border, You can't Deport, You Can't Stop Illegal Aliens,….

Charles Krauthammer and George Will continue to showcase their insane alignment with the DC Machine writ large.  You might think of them as pundits, until you realize their punditry is expressed alignment with the policy positions of: John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, Ben Carson, Scott Walker, Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, John Kasich, Rick Perry, Lindsey Graham, Rand Paul, George Pataki and Jim Gilmore.
Laura Ingraham scratches the surface on the “anchor baby” issue, but more directly frames the discussion around the larger picture of failed immigration enforcement which has led to the crisis.
We are in this ridiculous place because the ‘Beltway Betters‘ have failed to enforce existing law, failed to secure the border, failed to secure employment law and lied to the American people about their intents therein.
First Krauthammer:


Here’s George Will’s latest ‘high-horse’ nonsense: (more…)

The candidates are vying to be nominated to represent their party in the November 2016 general election. (more…)

….While munching salad, and discussing the labeling on boxed shipments of “intact babies”, because they don’t want the opener to be “surprised”….
(Via Life News) […]  Today, a judge lifted the order and Center for Medical Progress immediately released a new video.

She laughs about how shippers of the aborted babies would give a warning to lab workers to expect such a baby.
“Oh yeah, if you have intact cases — which we’ve done a lot — we sometimes ship those back to our lab in its entirety,” she says.
“Tell the lab its coming,” she laughs about the intact unborn babies. “They don’t want to open the box and go ‘Oh my God,’” Dyer adds (more)
