What a fine mess this country is in right now regarding border control.
Democrats are giggling madly both behind closed doors and to a sympathetic, complicit press about their ability to stymy this White House on its president's core basic campaign promise - to reinstate law and order at the border.
Cruz is right in his criticism of the current state of Republican-led border talks on Capitol Hill, when he said: "It's almost as if elections don't penetrate. We need to be listening to the voters. I do not know a single Republican, not one in this body, not one in the House who was elected on the promise, 'I will go the left of Barack Obama.'".
Trump, during his State of the Union, outlined a plan that would grant 1.8 million illegals a pathway to citizenship over a period of 10 or so years - but that would also allot $25 billion for the building of a border wall, dramatically reshape and restrict chain migration programs and put an end to the diversity visa lottery.
So why not just recognize that reality, cede the point, and turn the tables by using DACA as a bartering chip for bigger border wins?
It's time to be a bit more pragmatic on border control.
The fact is, Obama's ghost has been haunting this administration's immigration plans and this Congress's border discussions.
