Steve Sailer writes<\/a>: The latest Muslim massacre has driven the mainstream media absolutely berserk with fear and loathing\u2026but not, though, of the Muslim terrorist who murdered 49 Latino gays in Florida. Instead, the bad guy is Donald Trump for having been demonstrated to be right about immigration policy.<\/p>\n

The GOP candidate offered a sensible speech<\/a> on Monday on reforming our immigration system to work better for Americans:<\/p>\n

\n

But the current politically correct response cripples our ability to talk and think and act clearly\u2026. The bottom line is that the only reason the killer was in America in the first place was because we allowed his family to come here\u2026. We have a dysfunctional immigration system which does not permit us to know who we let into our country, and it does not permit us to protect our citizens.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Of course, Trump\u2019s pragmatism was also calibrated to drive mad with rage the bipartisan Washington establishment that has grown rich off the conventional wisdom of Invade the World\/Invite the World<\/a>. Trump noted: <\/p>\n

\n

That is the choice I put before the American people: a mainstream immigration policy designed to benefit America, or Hillary Clinton’s radical immigration policy designed to benefit politically correct special interests\u2026.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Ask yourself, who is really the friend of women and the LGBT community, Donald Trump with his actions, or Hillary Clinton with her words? Clinton wants to allow radical Islamic terrorists to pour into our country\u2014they enslave women, and murder gays.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The New York Times<\/em><\/a>, for example, threw aside all pretense of objectivity, \u201creporting\u201d:<\/p>\n

\n

Mr. Trump\u2019s speech\u2026represented an extraordinary break from the longstanding rhetorical norms of American presidential nominees. But if his language more closely resembled a European nationalist\u2019s than a mainstream Republican\u2019s, he was wagering that voters are stirred more by their fears of Islamic terrorism than any concerns they may have about his flouting traditions of tolerance and respect for religious diversity.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This characterization of Trump\u2019s rhetoric reveals more about the momentum<\/a> of the conventional wisdom\u2014anything other than Open Borders is Hitlerism\u2014than it does about the candidate. Read on.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
