The Right's Missing Invitation & The Left Preaches Open Borders

by Gary Bauer, Contributing Author: The Rights Missing Invitation - The first thing I did this morning after getting into the office was to check the weekend mail and scan through my Inbox. Nope, still not there.

I'm waiting for an invitation that could be sent by any number of people. It could be Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell or House Speaker Paul Ryan. It could be from the Bush family, whose members have served as president and played a major role in shaping the Republican Party.

Mitt Romney looks like he wants to be involved in politics again. I would eagerly attend a meeting he called. Another possibility would be a conservative gathering hosted by Fox News and the Wall Street Journal.

The invitation would read something like this: "Please join a select group of conservative and Republican leaders to discuss how our party completely missed the mood and concerns of our voters regarding what has been happening to America."

How is it that with all the consultants and advisors it never occurred to the party elites to launch a campaign with the theme of making America great again? Why didn't anyone else catch on to the idea that trade deals sending manufacturing jobs to Mexico and China really aren't all that popular in the American heartland?

How did GOP leaders not understand that Americans really do expect our borders to be secure? And finally, how did the party of Ronald Reagan miss that average folks won't tolerate going to war if we force our soldiers to fight under politically correct rules of engagement or with one hand tied behind their backs?

The Left Preaches Open Borders - One of the progressives who runs America gave the commencement address to the 2016 graduating class of Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, Friday.

Just in case the students weren't made stupid enough by four years of left-wing indoctrination, the speaker finished the job when he said, in response to proposals to build a border wall, "There are no walls big enough to stop people from anywhere, tens of thousands of miles away, who are determined to take their own lives while they target others."

With that remark, Secretary of State John Kerry officially announced that nations are a figment of our imagination. Or even worse, that he and the other leftists who run the country intend to make America a figment of our imagination.

Borders -- secured by walls, fences, checkpoints, border guards, and in some cases, the military -- are the reality and defining characteristics of nation-states. What John Kerry described, large numbers of people willing to die in order to breach a nation's borders, has throughout history been called an "invasion." Nations either stop hostile invasions or they are conquered.

We are living under an administration that believes it is impossible, perhaps even undesirable, to secure our borders. (By the way, a new surge of illegal immigration is hitting the southern border and may exceed what we experienced in 2014.) The only explanation is that they are prepared for us to be conquered. (Perhaps that explains why when we are at war against radical Islam that the Army has been cut to pre-World War II levels.)

If I were Vladimir Putin, I'd work out a deal to send 200,000 Russian troops to Mexico who would take off their uniforms and promptly walk across the border to test Kerry's theory.

Kerry's comments should have been the controversy everyone was talking about over the weekend. That is what Donald Trump should have run to a microphone to talk about. That is what Speaker Paul Ryan should have been speaking out against. This left-wing idiocy is what every conservative should be battling, instead of throwing bombs at each other.
