Political opinions

Malkin is considered a downright right-wing conservative columnist. She is known for her tough stance on illegal immigration and dealing with global terrorism. For example, she rejects "anchor babies" (a battle term for children who are allegedly born on American territory for the purpose of acquiring American citizenship in order to obtain the right to stay for the family) as a means of immigration and advocates Close surveillance of Muslims in the US to prevent terrorist attacks. In this context, she also defends the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II ; this should also be done with Muslims. According to her, the survival of the nation in wartime is paramount, which is why civil liberties are not inviolable. She is also an advocate of racial profiling . In an article in the Jewish World Review , she attacked proponents of secularism , calling them snobs
