Remark of the day

Tom Homan, Eliot Ness of our era

December 19, 2024
Immigration

For a hammer, everything is a nail. Carlson Tucker's interview with Tom Homan shows a decent cop trying to enforce our immigration laws, which are as good and as unenforceable as Prohibition. The same politicians voted in both in the early 1920s. Eliot Ness did not make Prohibition work. People wishing to live in the U.S. come to the country illegally because it is the easiest way to obtain legal residence. Even the best police work by the Border Czar will not change it. Many will get hurt, but maybe Americans will realize that ending illegal immigration could be as easy as ending the menace of Prohibition — by repealing our immigration laws.
