Some positive lessons, and some negative, like this important lesson:
In 1980, Reagan opened the border "both
ways” so that immigrants could cross and work
with visas and pay taxes with almost
unrestricted travel.
His object was to help short-term economic migrants.
In 1982, the Supreme
Court forbade schools to deny services based
on illegal immigration status.
So then illegals flooded-in to game the system.
The crime problem grew. In 1986, Reagan tried a remedy by giving the biggest amnesty in U.S. history,
which legalized a small number of illegal aliens. But this error created the margin of welfare recipients which turned California from a strongly Republican state to a Democrat state with even larger welfare programs, higher taxes and power-hungry bureaucrats, and an ever-growing illegal alien problem.
Many Republicans pride themselves on their chess-playing acumen. Dems write a tax increase bill, GOP players write one that doesn't increase taxes, and say, "We'll just checkmate these revolutionaries and WIN this one." Sometimes they do. But Since the Goldwater days, they've been whipped 90 percent of the time. So they study chess tactics harder.
In next three years, the Dems are rolling out an army of tanks. First mission: roll over every chess board and destroy them, leaving the elephants to wander around aimlessly, not knowing how to do politics.
How do we know this? Zoom calls over the last year. The Dems are done with chess.
Kunstler: "Democratic Party election ninja Marc Elias knocked himself out for two years registering new voters by the bale, as in manufacturing them. . . illegal aliens. . . homeless junkies. . . straight-up fictitious persons. . . in order to flood the zone with fake mail-in ballots, that is, in-your-face fraud. And the reason they did it was so ...
"No man is big enough to run this great Republic. There never has been one. Such domination was never intended. Tranquillity, stability, dependability—all are assured in party sponsorship. and we mean to renew the assurances which were rended in the cataclysmal war.”
Warren Harding, July 1920.
