MIKE HOWELL: “I'll be damned if we're going to sit back and just watch minuscule enforcement with spicy tweets. There needs to be worksite enforcement”

Mike Howell gets it…

The absolute worst outcome isn’t pure open borders. It’s amnesty wrapped in spicy tweets that make the base feel like something is happening whilst the actual machinery keeps running the same Obama era non-enforcement playbook.

That’s not toughness.… https://t.co/TZjXctiDVw

It’s amnesty wrapped in spicy tweets that make the base feel like something is happening whilst the actual machinery keeps running the same Obama-era non-enforcement playbook. That’s not toughness. That’s psychological cover for failure.  FAILURE FOLKS!!! Full spectrum immigration enforcement (the border, interior, worksite, and everything else) is the only system that actually changes the trajectory of the country. Everything else is just managing decline with fake branding. We’re hanging by a thread. And the head of DHS is still executing the old Obama-era strategy

GREG K. BOVINO: Mass deportations are not a policy preference anymore. They are the loyalty test.

This man gets it.

Young Republicans are not bluffing. They will walk.

The GOP is currently on a suicide mission. The old consultant class still thinks they can keep the base with tax cuts, judges, and “strong on the border” messaging while quietly protecting the labor supply… https://t.co/DAT1a955pK

from Greg Bovino,

This man gets it. Young Republicans are not bluffing. They will walk. The GOP is currently on a suicide mission. The old consultant class still thinks they can keep the base with tax cuts, judges, and “strong on the border” messaging while quietly protecting the labor supply that donors want. That trade used to work. It no longer does. RINOs will collect their short-term checks. They will lose the country. And they will lose the only generation of voters who still show up with energy. Mass deportations are not a policy preference anymore. They are the loyalty test. If the party fails this test, the young leave. When the young leave, the party dies of demographic math. The ones who understand this will inherit the future of the right. The ones who don’t will be remembered as the last generation of Republicans who sold the country for consulting fees. Mass deportations are the key.

Everything else is noise.
