Ann Coulter: 'Guest Workers Are More of a Threat to Our National Security Than Iran Is'

Contrary to the lyin' media's lie that Trump is the liar, he isn't. At least not all the time. But this week, he got off a true whopper.

Trump's claim that he was pulling out of the Iran deal in order "to protect America's national security interests" is a big, fat lie.

Iran has killed lots of American troops in the Middle East but has done nothing to any Americans here on our own soil.

Obviously, I'm not saying anyone was asking for it, but here are some rules to live by: If you don't want to be falsely accused of rape by a stripper, don't invite strippers to your lacrosse party. As of Monday, if you don't want to get beaten up, don't date Eric Schneiderman. And if you don't want American troops getting blown up in the Middle East, don't send troops there when we have absolutely no national security reason for doing so.

There are a lot of crazy people in the Middle East.

America has zero defense interest in rearranging that part of the world, and we don't have a particularly good track record of doing so, at least since Jimmy Carter withdrew our support from the Shah of Iran in 1979.

What actually is in America's national security interest is preventing crazy foreigners from coming here.

So it's particularly dispiriting to have the president constantly demanding that we amnesty "Dreamers" and import ever more cheap foreign labor for farmers who are too lazy and selfish to mechanize. Easier to offload the cost of their human workers on you, taxpayer.

But the president has an idee fixe that we're all going to starve if we don't bring in guest workers for the farmers.

Guest workers are more of a threat to our national security than Iran is. Leave aside the tens of thousands of Americans killed every year by Mexican heroin, illegal alien drunk drivers and straight-up murderers, whom the government refuses to count.

Even in the exceedingly narrow category of "Americans killed in Islamic terrorist attacks in our own country," farmers' guest workers have killed more people than Iranians have.
