I hate to keep harping on this, I really do, but the new
information coming out in rebuttal to Donald Trump—and the Republican party in
general as they lean ever more in his direction—is just so fascinating to me. This
article puts cold hard numbers to Republican claims (because Cruz is saying it
too now, dear Lord help us all) that they will deport all undocumented immigrants in the nation by 2018. Even if such a
thing were possible, which I doubt, this study finds that it would cost the
nation upwards of four hundred billion
dollars, and even that assuming that 20% of the undocumented population leaves
the country voluntarily. And if that weren’t enough like the Twilight Zone,
this is a study put out by conservatives against their own candidates. If the implications
weren’t so completely terrifying, this would be the most enjoyable election
season I’ve ever had the pleasure to witness, simply because of the completely
incredible nature of some of the issues being raised here.
