At one point, Mrs. Clinton agreed with these concepts. She once adamantly opposed illegal immigration and supported the Secure Fence Act to protect our borders. Now, she says, she hates the wall that Donald Trump promises to build and supports expanding Mr. Obama’s executive orders on amnesty and open-borders policies.
The Democratic nominee is putting out a welcome mat for foreign nationals who believe that they can overstay their visas or cross the border illegally. Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton have sent an unmistakable signal to rest of the world that the U.S. won’t protect its borders or enforce its basic laws. That only encourages more immigrants to jump the line and find an alternate route to enter the United States. Of course, the media by and large can’t be bothered to call Mrs. Clinton on her immigration flip-flops.
Instead, the liberal press has jumped on Mr. Trump, labeling him a bully and a xenophobe. But even putting the name-calling aside, the media fail to understand how important it is to end the cycle of illegal immigration that has been mismanaged for decades.
