From the January 14 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:

BILL O'REILLY (HOST): All Americans should welcome legal immigrants, folks who obey our laws and go through the proper procedures. Everybody should welcome them. The Republican candidate must make that clear, and then pivot into defining solutions that would stop the illegal immigration madness. There should be a wall. Because the Mexican government simply will not cooperate in stopping the flow of people and drugs into this country. Mexico is not our friend when it comes to smuggling.
By accepting the chaotic status quo, the Democratic Party hurts all Americans. I mean, come on, sanctuary cities? Not supporting Kate's Law? Opposing a barrier that would make it harder for the cartels to smuggle tons of narcotics? That's crazy stuff. So the Republicans should simply tell the voters that laws will be enforced, and protection for American citizens provided. If we don't like the current laws, congress can vote to change them. But enough with the anarchy.
What the G.O.P. should not do, however, is personalize the argument. Poor people seeking better lives are not villains. There is no place in America for hating. Many illegal aliens are just trying to help their families. Republicans should reject the personal and demand the rule of law, because if things keep going the way they're going, we may be looking at what's happening in Europe.
