Related: About this forumThis Conservative shockingly supports America absorbing all refugees
George Will continues to amaze. Recently on Fox News to the consternation of Chris Wallace he, came out in favor of patriating the refugee children crossing the Texas border. George Will comes out in favor of treating the children at the border in an American manner, with compassion and morality.
We ought to say to these children, George Will said. Welcome to America, youre going to go to school, and get a job, and become Americans. We have 3,141 counties in this country. That would be 20 per county. The idea that we cant assimilate these 8-year-old criminals with their teddy bears is preposterous.

Some of these old opportunistic asshats are thinking about what their 'broadcast footage' legacies will say about them.

He is expressing a logical view. These children and the majority of the 11 million illegals will be assimilated into the USA as citizens sooner or later. When they have the right to vote they will remember who their friends were when they were living under the threat of deportation.
10 million new Democrats will be the final nail in the coffin of the republican party.
