H/T One Old Vet

Today we are carrying A Virginia Reader On Bobby Jindal And NATIONAL REVIEW’s Latest Amnesty Trial Balloon, another in an impressive series of astute letters from “Virginia Paleoconservative”.



This develops from my blog The Lowry/Kristol Odd Couple Stunt: What Do They Fear? and I have to say it is a light year more sagacious than the dumb response I dealt with on Thursday in An Angry Reader Wants VDARE.com To Abandon Our "Vendetta" (Actually Contempt) For NATIONAL REVIEW



Virginia Paleoconservative points out that National Review has just carried a covertly pro Amnesty/Immigration Acceleration essay by Bobby Jindal and very reasonably asks

Why would the Governor of Louisiana, a state that ranks 41st in per capita income, propose a measure that would further drive down the wages of the residents of his state, and cause social disruption in a region with many long standing cultures?

It is obvious that Bobby Jindal has come out as being in the same despicable league as Senators Rubio, McCain, Flake, and Graham. His strategy is to repackage their immigration proposal, and implement it in “steps” with the assumption that conservatives are too stupid to notice they are both fundamentally the same.

The question arises is why has the National Review published such a blatantly deceptive trial balloon when it is concurrently attempting to convince its base it is now for a patriotic immigration policy?
