“people sometimes resort to scurrilous personal abuse or childish sarcasm when their case is weak. Let me repeat: people sometimes resort to scurrilous personal abuse or childish sarcasm when their case is weak. For instance, on foreign policy, you know instantly when someone uses the word ``isolationist,'' they are resorting to name calling, rather than a serious discussion on the merits or the lack thereof. On the issue of immigration, the scurrilous, personal abuse is when people imply or say that someone is a racist or a bigot if they want our immigration laws enforced. The childish sarcasm is when a columnist or someone else says we would have to line up 200,000 buses to remove 12 million immigrants. No one thinks you can enforce all our immigration laws overnight or instantly solve this problem, but just because we cannot solve this problem all at once does not mean we should just give up and open up our borders. Our government estimated several years ago that half the people of the world would come here very quickly if allowed to do so. Our schools, hospitals, roads, jails, sewers, our entire infrastructure simply could not handle such a rapid, massive influx of people. A couple of years ago, Newsweek magazine said half the people of the world have to get by on $2 or less a day. Consistent with this was a column I read a few months later that said half the people in the world do not even have a second pair of shoes.…”
