Pat Buchanan: Time For ‘Moratorium On All Legal Immigration’

Posted by | April 23, 2015 10:30 | Filed under: Politics Radio Interviews


That’s what Pat Buchanan told me on radio Wednesday night.

COLMES: So what would President Buchanan do, stop immigration?
BUCHANAN: President Buchanan would put a moratorium on all legal immigration, which means no more than 250,000 coming in each year. I would secure the southern border. I would enforce the employer sanctions, I would give them one shot at it and fine them if they’re hiring illegals and if they did it a second time, I’d have them down there mixing the concrete on the fence on the border.
COLMES: When you say limit or stop all legal immigration…
BUCHANAN: I think you put a moratorium on it. We had a moratorium on it from 1924 to 1965.
COLMES: But then you say 250,000. You would allow 250,000 in?
BUCHANAN: There are some people that are going to have to come in. But I would cut it down, cut it down at least a million year, I would cut it by at least three-fourths.

    He’s right about one thing; those that hire them.

    I got to the first mention of “President Buchanan” and busted up laughing. Stopped reading at that point.

    Did he talk to Scott Walker first, or was it vice versa? Within days, they’re both talking about stopping legal immigration. Plus, senility must have begun for Buchanan because the word moratorium means something comes to a FULL STOP, not a FULL STOP with a trickle.

    President Buchanan. Somebody’s been playing in the PCP.

    Was Elian Gonzales an illegal alien or not?
    Should an ACTUAL foreign born, like Arnold Schwarzenegger, be allowed to run for president?
    Ever read the book, NEVER AGAIN, by Bush Attorney-General John Ashcroft?
    He ordered the rescue of illegals.
    Any wrath?

    Had to chuckle at Alan’s parting shot… I would not vote for “Pat” either. Nixon! Cold War! Nam! Kent State! Though I suppose he was for taking down the Berlin Wall, he refuses to learn from past mistakes, when he actually had some power and influence.

    “Secure the border” is code for more militarization and treating Refugees like convicted criminals. It breaks the heart to see the harm our government is inflicting on women and children who fled for their lives only to be put in “Detention” isolated from the world, the media and public view.

    Buchanan, like all those who ignore the definition of “insanity,” want to construct something like the Berlin Wall along our 3,000 mile Southern border with Mexico, complete with guard towers, spot lights, minefields and machine guns. From what I read a few small stretches of the border in Texas are already like this and cost Texans about $12million a month. Of course the smugglers just go around them. Aside from the inherit evil of imprisoning whole populations behind walls, it boggles the imagination how much such a monumental project would cost!, both in lives and money. And, of course, there is a Private Sector for that money to flow to. Not a “Square Deal!”
