This fine column points out that FICA and the IRS refuse to cooperate with Immigration and Nationalization Services -- thus folks like Mollie Tibbett's killer roam free to predate on prey like Mollie. Deep / Administrative State agencies could care less -- "Undocumented Democrats" are just as good a members of "The Party" (TP-D) as the documnented sorts, so a little "collateral damage" is fine wiht TP.
We live in a completely tribal nation where any sense of proportion or reason has been completely lost. Observe "common sense gun control", "build the wall", and "reproductive freedom".
In the case of the last "right", the Constitution is invoked as "sacred" -- the "constitution" with a "prenumbra" that contained some fairy dust recognizeable by liberals providing a "right" heretofore totally unknown! By the logic of Roe, there is no need for a 19th Amendment (nor any other amendment). The SOCTUS can conjure any right out of some mysterious reading of the Constitution.
Moving to the right to bear arms, we have the inverse. An acutal enumerated right considered by the Founders to be 2nd in priority only to freedom of speech and religion. And correctly so -- for without the 2nd, none of the other rights are worth the paper they are written on. What does the left think of THAT right? it doesn't exist! "Common sense" is that the government decides who may have a "gun" of whatever kind they decree -- much of their "common sense" would indicate a muzzle loading musket would be the only kind appropriate.
Like everything in the liberal mind, the Constitution is "sacred" relative to killing the unborn, even though there is no such right actually found in the Constitution. Guns OTOH, although a clearly enumerated right, are a right that is unrecognizeable to the liberal mind.
"Build the Wall" means "control the borders". Having a nation at all requires having control of your borders. BO may be a "citixzen oif the world" in his own mind, but a check of reality will show there are NO "citizens of the world" ... like many things BO believes, it is a peer fantasy, nothing but words.
Will building a wall stop all illegals? Certainly not ... will forcing people to pay for seat belts, air bags, beeping gongs, flashing warnings, etc prevent all auto deaths? If only! The usual standard for liberal "safety" is "if one child's life can be saved". Naturally, they murder babies by the 10's of millions for convienience, and care nothing of the actual cost of illegal immigration because they love the Undocumented Democrats. If they were consistent, they would not be "liberals".
Just as the name Kathryn Steinle, the woman killed by an illegal in SF in 2017 has been forgotten, Mollie Tibbets is already being erased. TP finds her to be expendable in the name of adding more Undocumented Democrats to the no-ID voting roles. Kathryn and Mollie are just a tiny tip of the iceberg of illegal immigrant crime the TP controlled media can't hide. One needs to go foreign to get any sort of numbers ... Sweden is a good case in point. I love how they quote that "violence is actually going down BUT ..." ... in the US, after the last mass shooting, they just fail to report that gun violence is actually going done ... which is true here as well -- it all depends on what way the media is trying to influence how you think. They just aren't much for "we report, you decide": these days.
It's the little people out in "fly over country" that care about deaths like Mollie and Kathryn, merely because those deaths are especially painful because they are SO avoidable! The elites always have a "higher purpose" for their "caring", and when you look closely the answer is that what they really do honestly care about is that their wealth and power continues to increase.
