O'Reilly Responds to Obama's Plan to Accept 2,000
Post# of 51171
In Monday's Talking Points Memo, Bill O'Reilly responded to plans by the Obama administration to accept about 2,000 people who had illegally immigrated to Australia, but were deported by the government and sent to a remote area of the South Pacific.
Australia believes illegal immigrants will destabilize their country, and the nation's military is in charge of immigration, O'Reilly said.
But, in the United States, anti-illegal immigration advocates are seen as not being compassionate to refugees.
"Liberal zealotry sees America as a nation driven by white privilege and wants to flood the USA with new citizens," he noted, and laid out what a fair policy might be for the incoming Trump administration to consider.
O'Reilly said immigrants already here should register with federal authorities at local post offices, rather than face mass deportation.
He called for a one-year moratorium on illegal immigration and proffered that states that facilitate or accept sanctuary city policy within their borders face denial of federal transportation funds.
In 1984, the federal National Minimum Drinking Wage Act required a similar restraint, as states that do not restrict their purchasing age to 21 will face a sizeable cut in transportation funding.
