The immigration swamp

Charles Krauthammer
“This was not a subject that was on anybody’s mind until I brought it up at my announcement.”
— Donald Trump, on immigration, Republican debate, Aug. 6

. . . "But that is not to say that he should be exempt from normal scrutiny or from consideration of the effect of his candidacy on conservatism’s future. If you are a conservative alarmed at the country’s direction and committed to retaking the White House, you should be concerned about what Trump’s ascendancy is doing to the chances of that happening.

"The Democrats’ presumptive candidate is flailing badly. Republicans have an unusually talented field with a good chance of winning back the presidency. Do they really want to be dragged into the swamps — right now, on immigration — that will make that prospect electorally impossible?". . .
