It&#8217;s probably like spending weeks standing in line at DMV. And imagine the induced narcolepsy for the unlucky <i>vato<\/i> who winds up at the end of the queue.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, since available evidence points to the fact the alleged asylum seekers are actually garden-variety illegals testing a new way to game the system, does that mean they&#8217;ll want to cut in the front of the line? And if new line cutters cut in on prior line cutters in a line-cutting frenzy, it&#8217;s not difficult to imagine things reaching a level of line-cutting chaos not seen since a Sex Pistols concert&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton demonstrates why she has more spin cycles than Maytag.<\/p>\n<p>Late last week, in an interview with the <i>UK Guardian<\/i>, the former Secretary of State and current <i>commandante<\/i> of the #resistance said if Europe doesn&#8217;t get a handle on its immigration problems, brought about by an influx of one million Muslims, both the EU and the U.S. risk the rise of &#8220;populist&#8221; right wing figures.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI admire the very generous and compassionate approaches that were taken particularly by leaders like Angela Merkel, but I think it is fair to say Europe has done its part, and must send a very clear message \u2013 \u2018we are not going to be able to continue to provide refuge and support\u2019 \u2013 because if we don\u2019t deal with the migration issue it will continue to roil the body politic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clinton urged forces opposed to rightwing populism in Europe and the U.S. not to neglect the concerns about race and identity issues that she says were behind her losing key votes in 2016. She accused Trump of exploiting the issue in the election contest \u2013 and in office.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For those playing at home, apparently among Clintonistas, populism is defined as getting majority support among voters in a democracy but only applies to those you disagree with. If you&#8217;re a Progressive, majority support is good because it&#8217;s democracy at work; if you&#8217;re a Conservative, it&#8217;s bad because reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Hillary also understandably did not mention to the <i>Guardian<\/i> what she was saying a few years ago. Or maybe she just forgot:  <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMy dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, some time in the future with energy that is as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the Hemisphere,\u201d she said in a May 2013 (private) speech to the Brazilian bank Banco Itau, according to a speech transcript obtained by Wikileaks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>With Thanksgiving over, and with 6800 or so Army troops still on the Mexican border, it might be interesting, at least for those of us easily amused, to start placing bets on a stand-down date and whether those same folks in uniform will be home for Christmas. Possible prizes for winners of the pool could include a free copy of the rumored upcoming Commissar Taylor bestseller <i>How I Make Friends<\/i>; consolation prizes for the unfortunate losers might be <i>pi\u00f1atas<\/i> of gummi <i>pendejos<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p> I&#8217;m picking December 17. It&#8217;s the 115th anniversary of the Wright Brothers first powered flight at Kitty Hawk, and I&#8217;m feeling lucky&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2018\/nov\/22\/hillary-clinton-europe-must-curb-immigration-stop-populists-trump-brexit\">https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2018\/nov\/22\/hillary-clinton-europe-must-curb-immigration-stop-populists-trump-brexit<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2016\/oct\/8\/hillary-clinton-dreams-open-borders-leaked-speech-\/\">https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2016\/oct\/8\/hillary-clinton-dreams-open-borders-leaked-speech-\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Down Along the Border You would have to be pretty hard-hearted to not have at least &hellip; <a title=\"Guest Post- Perry Gaskill\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=83074\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Guest Post- Perry Gaskill<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":657,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[332],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83074","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-guest-post"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/657"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=83074"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83074\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=83074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=83074"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=83074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
