They're funded by your taxpayer dollars.

So even that is a bogus argument because money is fungible.

And I think these people are smart enough to know that.

I think the more charitable read is that they're just being deceitful here rather than anything else.

And yes, I recognize it's very easy with my microphone from my nice little pundit chair to say that we should deport all of them.

It's a harder political action to effect.

I get that.

And there are going to be lots of constituencies who don't want it, certainly in the donor class and the Indian real estate and the farmers and all the rest of it.

But also even among rank and file voters who are going to react to the avalanche of dishonest and bad, bad looking news images and stories.

I get that it's a difficult political issue.

I guess my point would be this.

If you're going to spend political capital on any issue, this is the one to spend it on.

Because not only is it what people voted for, but two, the mass migration presents an existential threat to the country.

And also specifically, just talking to the self-interested Republican legislators, it poses an existential threat to the Republican Party.

That's why the Democrats are posing it.

So I say, I sympathize.

I get it.

I know that this is politically very difficult to do, and it requires a lot of political capital.

This is the best investment of your political capital that you can make in the medium term and certainly in the long term.

Of course.
