The second GOP debate was useless to voters that hoped to glean new insights into the seven candidates’ presidential worthiness. Moreover, the debates were bad television with the White House aspirants talking over each other, and too often saying nothing. Fox News Media, which telecast the debate, should insist that its co-moderators, Stuart Varney, Dana Perino and UNIVISION’s propogandist amnesty shill Ilia Calderón get down to the tough topic: the United States is under invasion. Foreign nationals including FBI terrorist watch list suspects and convicted criminals are entering, aided and abetted by the Biden administration. The invasion harms American citizens in multiple ways—the labor pool expands, schools and hospitals struggle to keep up, and communities have reached the breaking point. The question: How, specifically, would you end President Biden’s unprecedented invasion that rewards invaders with protection from removal, work permission, affirmative benefits, and for some, eventual citizenship?
When asked, the question would put the candidates on the spot, and because the border chaos is the most important question on Americans’ minds, would transfix viewers—no channel surfing while the candidates stumble around trying to sound tough while, at the same time, appeasing moderates who oppose deportation. Stop piling on about former President Donald Trump’s absence from the debate, but come down hard on how Biden has passively watched U.S. sovereignty erode. Stress that during the two-hour debate, several hundred illegal immigrants crossed unlawfully, were released, and transported to the interior, a shameless unconstitutional, but unpunished disregard for federal law. August border encounters reached an all-time high, 322,000, an insult to Americans.
The immigration topic provides more than enough fodder to fill the two hours that Fox News allotted for the debate. For good measure, the discussion could segue into chain migration which ensures that the foreign-born population would continue to rise. Princeton University research found that each arriving immigrant, when he becomes a lawful permanent resident, petitions an average of three family members. Today’s immigrant will petition three family members to join him. Those three will eventually petition invite three more, an unsustainable pattern that will nevertheless continue indefinitely. Chain migrants from the Southeast Asian War, which ended nearly half a century ago, are still petitioning their family. Since Biden took office, the U.S.’s foreign-born population has increased by 2.9 million.
Instead of listening to the pap the candidates spout on national television with a multi-million-viewer audience, history should guide voter. During their political careers, most of the candidates have revealed their immigration opinions—expansionist or enforcement. Haley, although still a nominee long-shot, has emerged as a favorite, at least among some moderate Republicans that don’t want another Donald Trump term.
On immigration, crucial for most voters and the policy on which America’s sovereign future depends, Haley’s history indicates she supports an expansionist goal—the last thing that post-Biden GOP voters want. In 2016, while delivering the Republican Party’s State of the Union response to then-President Barack Obama, Haley said: “During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices [candidates who support lower immigration levels]. We must resist that temptation. No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country.” She also called for fixing “our broken immigration system.”
But welcoming foreign nationals “willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions” means amnesty, toxic among GOP voters. And for the umpteenth time, yes, the immigration system is “broken”—more amnesty code-speak—but that’s because for nearly sixty years, federal laws that govern immigration have been willfully broken under Republican and Democratic administrations. Concluding her soft-on-immigration remarks, Haley said that the U.S. must continue “welcoming properly vetted legal immigrants, regardless of their race or religion. Just like we have for centuries.” Haley either overlooked, forgot or never knew that President Calvin Coolidge signed the Immigration Act of 1924 which dramatically limited immigration for the following 40 years under Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, and Dwight Eisenhower. The four-decade, low immigration period spawned world’s history’s strongest, most prosperous, and most vibrant nation. In his 1924 State of the Union Address, Coolidge said: “But I believe this law in principle is necessary and sound, and destined to increase greatly the public welfare. We must maintain our own economic position; we must defend our own national integrity.” [Emphasis added.]
Haley’s chances to win the GOP nomination are slim. The latest Real Clear Politics polling places her 32 points behind President Trump, and only three-points ahead of fellow South Carolinians Senator Tom Scott, and Florida Governor Ron De Santis. The lesson for Fox News, if the station wants future viewers, is to question the candidates on what matters: America’s border crisis—an American crisis. The candidates need to respond with viable solutions that first and foremost include, an iron-clad commitment to enforcing immigration laws.
