    Krugman: There is no immigration crisis – it's a hatred crisis.

    The speed of America’s moral descent under Donald Trump is breathtaking. In a matter of months we’ve gone from a nation that stood for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to a nation that tears children from their parents and puts them in cages.

    What’s almost equally remarkable about this plunge into barbarism is that it’s not a response to any actual problem. The mass influx of murderers and rapists that Trump talks about, the wave of crime committed by immigrants here (and, in his mind, refugees in Germany), are things that simply aren’t happening. They’re just sick fantasies being used to justify real atrocities.

    And you know what this reminds me of? The history of anti-Semitism, a tale of prejudice fueled by myths and hoaxes that ended in genocide. ...

    In any case, the important thing to understand is that the atrocities our nation is now committing at the border don’t represent an overreaction or poorly implemented response to some actual problem that needs solving. There is no immigration crisis; there is no crisis of immigrant crime.

    No, the real crisis is an upsurge in hatred — unreasoning hatred that bears no relationship to anything the victims have done. And anyone making excuses for that hatred — who tries, for example, to turn it into a “both sides” story — is, in effect, an apologist for crimes against humanity.

    Think your toddler going apeshit just because Mommy just took a trip to the store, and multiply it by about a thousand.
    Except Mommy will never come home from the store. (And you prayed as the guardian she would return ASAP).
    The portly orange goblin by all accounts was a distant parent, or he might understand.

    Like Krauthammer and Kristol and the rest of the Republican intelligentsia - who didn't care how far the rank and file lurched right - George Will is responsible for Trump.

    So thanks for the heads-up Dr. Frankenstein, but we've met your monster.

    The line starts at Reagan goes to Gingrich and leads directly to Trump.
    Reagan was the anti-analytic President. .

    What do conservatives who support a “zero tolerance policy” against illegal immigration and support separating immigrant children from their families call an undocumented immigrant who works in the U.S. illegally, sleeps with a married wealthy serial adulterer to get a green card & brings her family to America via chain migration?

    First Lady.

    We live in a country where a large majority of the largest ethnic group would rather live in a dictatorship than share power with other groups. White Americans ar the biggest danger to world peace and prosperity on earth. Hey Dr. Quant my old pal. Refute me, if you can.
