The New York Times wore out its thesaurus denouncing the order: cruelty injury suffering bigoted, cowardly, self-defeating breathtaking inflammatory callousness and indifference and thats from a single editorial!

Amid the hysteria over this prudent pause in refugee admissions from seven countries whose principal export is dynamite vests, it has been indignantly claimed that its illegal for our immigration policies to discriminate on the basis of religion.

This is often said by journalists who are only in America because of immigration policies that discriminated on the basis of religion.

For much of the last half-century, Soviet Jews were given nearly automatic entry to the U.S. as refugees. Entering as a refugee confers all sorts of benefits unavailable to other immigrants, including loads of welfare programs, health insurance, job placement services, English language classes, and the opportunity to apply for U.S. citizenship after only five years.

Most important, though, Soviet Jews were not required to satisfy the United Nations definition of a refugee, to wit: someone fleeing persecution based on race, religion or national origin. They just had to prove they were Jewish.

This may have been good policy, but lets not pretend the Jewish exception was not based on religion.

If a temporary pause on refugee admissions from seven majority-Muslim countries constitutes targeting Muslims, then our immigration policy targeted Christians for discrimination for about 30 years.

Never heard a peep from the ACLU about religious discrimination back then!

According to the considered opinion of the Cato Institutes David J. Bier, writing in the New York Times, Trumps executive order is illegal because the 1965 immigration act banned all discrimination against immigrants on the basis of national origin.

In 1966, one year after the 1965 immigration act, immigrants from Cuba suddenly got special immigration privileges. In 1986, immigrants from Ireland did. People from Vietnam and Indochina got special immigration rights for 20 years after the end of the Vietnam War.

The 1965 law, quite obviously, did not prohibit discrimination based on national origin. (I was wondering why the Times would sully its pages with the legal opinion of a Grove City College B.A., like Bier! Any expert in a storm, I guess.)

In fact, ethnic discrimination is practically the hallmark of Americas immigration policy in addition to our perverse obsession with admitting the entire Third World.

Commenting on these ethnic boondoggles back in 1996, Sen. Orrin Hatch said: We have made a mockery of refugee law, because of politics and pressure. We let in one ethnic group out of compassion, then they form an ethnic power bloc to demand that all their fellow countrymen be let in, too.

As the former Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew, described diversity in Der Spiegel: In multiracial societies, you dont vote in accordance with your economic interests and social interests, you vote in accordance with race and religion.

Thats our immigration policy plus a healthy dose of Emma Lazarus insane idea that all countries of the world should send their losers to us. (Thanks, Emma!)

Americans are weary of taking in these pricey Third World immigrants, who show their gratitude by periodically erupting in maniacal violence in, for example, San Bernardino, Orlando, New York City, Fort Hood, Boston, Chattanooga, Bowling Green and St. Cloud.

The Muslim immigrants currently being showcased by the left are not likely to change any minds. The Times could produce only 11 cases of temporarily blocked immigrants that the newspaper would even dare mention. (Imagine what the others are like!)

For purposes of argument, I will accept the Times glowing descriptions of these Muslim immigrants as brilliant scientists on the verge of curing cancer. (Two of the Times 11 cases actually involved cancer researchers.)

Point one: If the Times thinks that brilliance is a desirable characteristic in an immigrant, why cant we demand that of all our immigrants?

To the contrary! Our immigration policy is more likely to turn away the brilliant scientist in order to make room for an Afghani goat herder, whose kid runs a coffee stand until deciding to bomb the New York City subway one day. (That was Najibullah Zazi, my featured Immigrant of the Week, on May 1, 2012.)

Point two: I happened to notice that even the stellar Muslim immigrants dug up by the Times seem to bring a lot of elderly and sickly relatives with them. Guess who gets to support them?

House Speaker Paul Ryans driving obsession (besides being the Koch brothers lickspittle) is entitlement reform, i.e., cutting benefits or raising the retirement age for Social Security and Medicare.

I have another idea. How about we stop bringing in immigrants who immediately access government programs, who bring in elderly parents who immediately access government programs, or who run vast criminal enterprises, stealing millions of dollars from government programs? (I illustrated the popularity of government scams with immigrants in Adios, America! by culling all the news stories about these crimes over a one-month period and listing the perps names.)

Point three: Contrary to emotional blather about the horrors refugees are fleeing, a lot are just coming to visit their kids or to get free health care. One of the Times baby seals an Iraqi with diabetes and a respiratory ailment was returning from performing his responsibilities as an elected official in Kirkuk.

Thats not exactly fleeing the Holocaust.

While its fantastic news that most Muslim refugees arent terrorists, the downside is: Theyre not refugees, theyre not brilliant, they dont have a constitutional right to come here, and theyre very, very expensive. Until politicians can give us more government services for less money, they need to stop bringing in the poor of the world on our dime.

Ann Coulter: Can I Be The Poster Child Against Obamacare …

Like millions of Americans who are paying thousands of dollars a year for health insurance no doctors will take, I would love to be flying to Washington this week, pleading with members of Congress, spearheading letter-writing campaigns and appearing as a witness, to tell everyone about my experiences with Obamacare.

But none of us can, because were too busy working so we can afford to pay for the health care of 22 million poor, entitled or irresponsible people under Obamacare.

Just yesterday, for example, in addition to working, I had to spend an houron top of days and days last monthfiguring out which few remaining clinics provide mammograms under my brand-new, now third Obamacare insurance plan.

My original plan was made illegal by Obamacare, and the next two plansfully approved under Obamacarewent bankrupt and were shut down by state and federal regulators.

Now I just have to pray I dont get cancer or break a bone before Obamacare is repealed because, even at $700 a month with a gigantic deductible, there is NO PLAN on the individual market accepted by the two premier hospitals in my area for cancer or broken bones.

Those $700 premiums go to pay for the pregnancies and dental care of welfare recipients and immigrants, not cancer treatment for Ann.

Democrats love to get on their high horses about the wonderful things Obamacare has done for the uninsured. They should be asked why they refuse to live under it.

After they spend 800 hours changing insurance plans every year, ending up with increasingly expensive and increasingly useless plansall so that their premiums can pay for the poorIll be fascinated to hear about their love for the downtrodden.

Same with Republicans who are, once again, being bamboozled by lobbyists, to the detriment of their taxpaying constituents who dont have time or money to fly to Washington and tell them our hard-luck stories.

Insurance lobbyists have somehow convinced politicians, who have very little experience in the private sector, that health insurance is wildly different from every other producteven car insurance and homeowners insurancebecause of its need for a large pool of enrollees.

Everyone talks about the enrollment problem as if this is a bug unique to the health insurance industry. What product, do they imagine, does not need lots of customers?

How could restaurants afford those chefs, fresh flowers, industrial kitchens, one hundred sets of plates, napkins and silverware and a staff of waiterswithout customers? AHHHH! THEYLL GO OUT OF BUSINESS!!! THE MODEL DOESNT WORK WITHOUT LOTS OF PARTICIPANTS! CONGRESS MUST GET INVOLVED.

Publishers couldnt have editors, proofreaders, lawyers, paper plants and marketing departmentsunless theres a large pool of book buyers. Pipe manufacturers couldnt have hundreds of employees, huge machines and factories unlessyou get the idea.

Why is having customers treated like some freakish need of this one industry?

People are a lot less interested in buying hotel rooms, restaurant meals and pipes than they are in buying health insurance. Everyone knows someone who has died of cancer or had some other major medical problem, and most people are not insane.

Even with the hell of Obamacare, requiring hundreds of hours of workto research, sign up for, be thrown off of, then sign up for a different, ever-more-expensive plan, year after yearthe long-suffering taxpayer is doing all that in order to maintain some form of health insurance.

So apparently, no matter how awful you make it, this is a product Americans are desperate to buy!

Republicans all say they want to save the so-called good parts of Obamacare. Because who knows better what the American consumer wants than a member of Congress!

I keep imagining Congress designing a comprehensive hotel reform bill, promising to save the popular parts: BUT PEOPLE LIKE HAVING TVS IN THEIR HOTEL ROOMS! How could we ever get TVs in hotel rooms without Congress writing a law?

It turns out, people running a business have an uncanny ability to figure out whats popular with their customers.

Any popular features of Obamacare obviously, manifestly, inevitably will be preserved by the free market. If parents like keeping their useless millennial kids on their plans, guess what? Any insurance company forced to compete with other insurance companies WILL OFFER THAT.

As for covering people with pre-existing conditionsthere are pre-existing conditions and pre-existing conditions. Does this mean the unfortunate few with some exorbitantly expensive medical problem? Or does it mean people who have a pre-existing condition because they waited to be diagnosed with cancer before buying insurance?

The first category of people was dealt a bad hand. Eventually, they will be taken care of by the market when excess coverage policies are common and reinsurance companies pop up to cover the primary insurance companies.

Until then, a separate program can pay for the unlucky. Thats not a reason to wreck the health insurance market for everyone else. There arent 22 million people with horrifyingly expensive medical conditions. Theyre being used as the baby seals to sell subsidized health care for the irresponsible.

The second category is a lot less sympathetic, which is precisely why the two cases are always conflated. You cant buy flood insurance after your house has already floated away.

But we wont let people die in the streets, soas Trump said at the very first GOP debatethey will be dealt with through a different system. They probably cant go to Sloan Kettering, but then again, neither can I. Right now, my $700 a month pays for them to go to Sloan Kettering.

Both cases are of zero practical importance to the vast majority of people who just want to buy health insurance on the free market, rather than what were doing now, which is giving shiftless layabouts and irresponsible screw-offs an unlimited health care credit cardpaid for through our insurance premiums.

Wed come to Washington and tell you that, but were working to pay for the pediatric dental care of illegal aliens.

Soledad O’Brien Destroys Ann Coulter by Calling Her a Nazi Apologist – PoliticusUSA

Trump rabble-rouser Ann Coulter was called out by Soledad OBrien when Coulter defended Donald Trumps Muslim ban. OBrien eschewed right-wing political correctness when she called Ann Coulter a Nazi apologist. No doubt Ann Youre on Fire Tonight Alt-Right Coulter would have preferred alt-right apologist.

Coulter, meanwhile, had already moved onto detailing stories of crimes committed by immigrants against white people, a rift on her frequent claim that immigrants will rape and impregnate your little girls.

You know, the stories Joseph Goebbels so loved to share.

Coulter was responding to the events of Saturday when two House Democrats marched on JFK International Airport to defend a dozen Iraqis detained as a result of Trumps illegal Muslim ban.

Democratic Representatives, Jerry Nadler and Nydia Velazquez, who represent the 10th and 7th districts, respectively, marched today on JFK. Nadler called Trumps immigration order is discriminatoryand frankly quite disgusting and Velazquez said, Mr. President, look at us. This is America. What you have done is shameful.

Ann Coulters snarky response to the release of Hameed Khalid Darweesh as a result of their efforts somehow turned the whole thing on its head by making the focus complaints about Americans:

Of course, Darweesh had nothing but praise for America and for Americans and was even gracious to Donald Trump.

Soledad OBrien, however, was not going to take it and snapped back at Coulter, saying to the race-baiting Coulter:

McCarthyist Ann Coulter, who had harbored a desire to be Trumps head of Homeland Security and who hates immigrants so much she once called Trumps new UN Ambassador Nikki Haley an ignorant immigrant, has earned her reputation as a Nazi apologist many times over.

This fact, tweeted courtesy of OBriens old employer, CNN, doesnt matter to Coulter:

In her book In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome! she wrote, Almost any immigrant to America makes it less honest. Since then, she has done her best to mainstream Nazism in America, including tweeting 14! for the infamous 14-word white supremacist slogan,

We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.

It is good to see that identification come from a well-known and respect media figure like Soledad OBrien. Trump doesnt like political correctness he says. In truth, he doesnt like correctness of any kind.

It is Donald Trumps opponents who must refuse to be politically correct by calling things and people what they are, and Ann Coulter is a Nazi apologist.

Ann Coulter: Donald Trump leads new GOP ‘on steroids’ – Palm Beach Daily News

Donald Trumps dramatic rise to power exposed a breach within the Republican Party, Ann Coulter told a Palm Beach audience Friday.

An insular establishment of party insiders, out of touch with mainstream Republicans, is confronted by a new GOP on steroids, the conservative commentator and author said.

Its as if every other Republican was saying, No, Im too dignified, I will not take steroids. Then Trump came along and said, I will take the steroids. Im on your side. Trump didnt need the donors. He could run on our behalf.

Coulter is a part-time resident who has penned a dozen best-selling books, including her latest, In Trump We Trust. A Palm Beach Republican Club crowd of more than 150 people greeted her with a standing ovation at The Colony.

I never realized how much I hated my old Republican Party, she said. They care about their interests. They get ahead. They win.

During its first week in Washington, the new, fresh Trumpian party wasted no time fulfilling his campaign promises, Coulter said. Were going with the [Mexican border] wall [and] Muslim ban. Hes bringing jobs back.

Immigration is the most important issue facing the nation, said Coulter, who opposes amnesty for illegal immigrants.

President Trump on Friday

placed new restrictions on who can enter the United States, signing sweeping new orders that tighten the countrys refugee and visa policies suspending almost all refugee admissions for four months and indefinitely barring entry for some Syrians.

Coulter believes Trump is on the mark.

Trump says maybe we shouldnt be taking people whose religion teaches that we are infidels and they should kill us, she said. The rest of the world does not have a constitutional right to move to America. We can admit or not admit anyone we want.

The Democratic Party has conspired to pack the country with immigrants for its own political gain, and the media refuses to accurately report the issue, she said.

Why are Republicans helping? Republicans want campaign cash The rich want cheap maids, she said.

But working Americans, through their taxes, subsidize that cheap labor by furnishing food stamps, medical care and education for the immigrants, she said.

Immigration is everything, Coulter said. It isnt one little issue. Who votes and lives in this country is everything.

Trumps border wall with Mexico will be meaningless unless he deports the millions of people who are already here illegally, she said. Trump is the last chance to save the America we knew, Coulter said. Its the last train leaving the station.
