You know, putting the abject cruelty and stupidity of this aside, the logic of it is what kills me. No one coming to the US says to themselves, "Hey, I might wind up in Libya because of this." People willing to cross the Durian Gap or any of a series of hazards to get to the US are only thinking "Anything is better than where I am, and America is top on the list." Once again, those are the people we WANT here. They're going to succeed, even if their measure for success is just getting here and becoming a productive citizen. And here's the rub - so long as the US is the greatest economic engine in the world, that will continue to be true no matter how cruel these Nazis are to the immigrants they can catch.
What they're really doing, is making sure that we are no longer the kind of economic engine that people aspire to emigrate to. Which is the greatest idiocy of all.
Anyhoo, morning rant over. Back to my coffee while I can still afford it.
