Recently I wrote a piece accusing Republicans of substituting nostalgia for realistic policy.  We can reminisce about the “good old days” when Americans were rugged individualists that didn’t need government programs, but that doesn’t mean those days are coming back.  Policies that worked in the 19^(th) century aren’t necessarily appropriate for the 21^(st). When it comes to immigration, it’s the Left that falls into this trap.  Whenever the subject comes up, their go-to comment is, “What about great-great granny who arrived at Ellis Island in 1887?,” as if that were a decisive argument for having open borders in 2018.  Our immigration policy should be based on the needs of the future, not nostalgia for the past. America is a nation of immigrants.  Some say that if you’re descended from immigrants, you have no right to favor limiting immigration.  If you do, they say this makes you a hypocrite.  I wonder if those making this argument support genocide.  The United States wouldn’t exist if not for the genocide of native populations.  Since our country was founded on genocide of existing populations to make room for immigrants, does that mean all Americans need to support both unlimited immigration and genocide?  Or can we admit the acts of our ancestors, even though they led to our being here, are not necessarily good policy prescriptions for the future?  I support DACA if it’s paired with real immigration reform.  I do not support erasing our borders and simply allowing all comers to show up and stay as they please.
