The year’s largest gathering of conservative activists transformed into something else over a long weekend outside of Washington: A celebration of nationalism, American sovereignty and new limits on immigration.
Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, the youngest member of France’s far-right political dynasty, told the Conservative Political Action Conference that “mass immigration” had created a Muslim “counter-society” in her country. Right-wing British politician Nigel Farage warned that George Soros and other wealthy elites “want us to live in a world with open borders.”
And in a freewheeling 80-minute speech, President Donald Trump described the visa lottery system – inaccurately – as a way that other countries send their most dangerous immigrants to the United States.
“We’re letting people in, and it’s going to be a lot of trouble,” said Trump. “It’s only getting worse.”
