Trump makes headway among the elites

Great. Now David Frum is on the anti-immigrant bandwagon making Trump's illogical, idiotic argument about immigrant criminals. Because, you know, if it weren't for all those immigrants ... we'd still be awash in homegrown violence the likes of which one only exists in countries like Somalia. This is facile, xenophobic,nonsense. And it's the most degrading, dehumanizing, dare I say fascist, argument against foreigners there is. It has a very long and notorious pedigree.

By the way, Frum is an immigrant.  And Billmon makes an excellent point:

There are crimes and then there are crimes. Considering that Frum is the author of the "axis o' evil" speech (not to mention this crime against intellectual integrity) Maybe he should be a little bit more circumspect.
