Bret Stephens - Only Mass Deportation Can Save America

In the matter of immigration, mark this conservative columnist down as strongly pro-deportation. The United States has too many people who don’t work hard, don’t believe in God, don’t contribute much to society and don’t appreciate the greatness of the American system.
They need to return whence they came.
I speak of Americans whose families have been in this country for a few generations. Complacent, entitled and often shockingly ignorant on basic points of American law and history, they are the stagnant pool in which our national prospects risk drowning.
On point after point, America’s nonimmigrants are failing our country. Crime? A study by the Cato Institute notes that nonimmigrants are incarcerated at nearly twice the rate of illegal immigrants, and at more than three times the rate of legal ones.
Educational achievement? Just 17 percent of the finalists in the 2016 Intel Science Talent Search — often called the “Junior Nobel Prize” — were the children of United States-born parents. At the Rochester Institute of Technology, just 9.5 percent of graduate students in electrical engineering were non-immigrants.
At the link for the rest.

That includes all races.

Right wing establishment kookiness at it's finest...even if it is sarcasm, but with Stephens, one can rarely tell.

Wtf does believing in god have to do with anything?

No God means no accountability. Can really shape how people think and act in a negative way.

You're right... the right should just shoot democrat electorates instead.

gods and religion are stone-age superstition created by people who had no concept of how the natural world around them worked. still believing in them simply because you were told to as a child is not some badge of honor. it's embarrassing, tbh.

I'm good with a mass deportation of libs and progs.

if you are correct I am a fool
a happy fool but a fool
if I am right I hope I am there when you have to explain yourself in the here after to my Stone-Aged LORD AND HIS RIGHT HAND MAN JESUS CHRIST

Usually this invites moral relativism i.e. no acknowledgment of good or evil. People who have no acceptance of Judeo Christian values generally have no guide/standard for their moral conduct hence anything goes and "who are you to judge my actions". Entitlement anyone??

So one has no sense of right vs wrong, good vs bad, moral vs immoral, ethical vs unethical unless they adhere to Judeo Christian values?
Is this a joke?

Going to rustle some jimmies. Mine were until I read the article. Once I did, agree 100%.

When a nation is ripped apart for decades by those who know better, reject authority and have no clue as to consequences of their misguided, flawed ideology why is anyone surprised and if one is a bag of bolts has more intelligence...they want the golden eggs but have a disdain for the laying goose...those are the fackers who need to be transported to the shathole called, Europe...with no regard to race, religion, ethnicity
You wish to turn us into a societal Petri dish then the least one can do is describe an exit strategy and intended consequences and how to contend with unintended consequences

people who don’t work hard, don’t believe in God, don’t contribute much to society and don’t appreciate the greatness of the American system.

What a stupid column. Anytime you compare a relatively small group of people to "the field" which is essentially what he's doing, the small group can be made to look good.
But if it were possible to deport the people he is referring to, then I'm all for it.
It's what Mexico is doing to us.
