“For many years, a robust norm held in American politics: You could be in favor of legal immigration while still opposing illegal immigration,” Alexander Kustov writes. That norm is now in danger of collapsing, putting every legal immigration channel at risk:

These people waved thousands of "Mass Deportations Now" signs because of The Left, not because they're just fucking xenophobic assholes who should be ejected from polite society? This is The Left's fault. Do you hear yourself. Who torpedoed immigration reform during the GWB administration?

See, here's the thing: the Right, as a political entity, requires the existence of bonkers aggrieved persecution-pilled Christians, deeply xenophobic jagoffs, and millionaires who want tax cuts more than they want anything else in the world. And it's been this way since ~ 1980.

William F. Buckley praised "Camp of the Saints". This is not a new movement on the Right, and it doesn't have anything to do with anything the Left did. Regan's most unpopular move was immigration amnesty! The Right cannot *exist* as a functional party any more without rancid xenophobia.
