Well, the GOP candidates had all the correct libertarian, free-market mantras out last night: pro-free enterprise, pro-capitalism, pro-free market, pro-private property, pro-fundamental rights, pro-Constitution, anti-socialism, and anti-regulation.
And then came immigration, and all those mantras went out the window.

“But some of them have been here for more than 10 years. Oh, it’s all so cruel and unfair.”
Okay, would you at least like to ...
