There are 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States (or is it 12 million?). Whatever the number, Americans are declaring bluntly, “Enough is enough; indeed, far more than enough.”
“Round them up and send them back—to wherever.”
“Build a wall along the border with Mexico.”
“At least build a fence!”
A recent poll concluded that 64 percent of Americans support fencing the U.S.–Mexican border.
And for good measure, 28 percent support building a border “fence” on the U.S.–Canadian border.
As for the chattering class’s horrified recoil at such attitudes from the “unwashed,” we have some reactions.
Those that favor draconian action against illegal immigrants have solid rationales behind this visceral spewing of anger.
