A “law abiding” embezzler, whose only crime is embezzlement
ENFORCE LAWS?…HOW MUCH WOULD THAT COST? IS THAT WHO WE ARE?
The Wall Street Journal is among the staunchest foes of any attempt to secure our borders and bring some sense of justice to the illegal immigration issue.
It remains one of the Journal’s top three reasons for the most aggressive “NeverTrump” position it took during the campaign and clings to still. The other two include their support of ‘globalism’ regardless of the damage it might do to lower and middle class Americans and the preservation of the Washington establishment that they see is threatened by President Trump.
Thursday’s editorial is a classic for the way in which a once respected conservative publication is willing to twist itself, and the traditional American respect for the law, in order to promote a borderless nation to assure cheap labor for members of the US Chamber of Commerce.
The editorial deals with the Trump “Deportation Surge” and focuses on the Journal’s own dire estimate of the enormous , crushing (and overblown) cost of its implementation.
In so doing, its “case” is built around how unfair it is for the Trump administration to threaten deportation of illegal immigrants whose “only offense” might be the use of false documents to work:
“…Kelly’s order is so sweeping that it could capture law abiding immigrants (note it is “law abiding immigrants”…the term “illegal aliens” is far too demeaning for the WSJ editorial board) whose only crime is using false documents to work.”
Is that deplorable’ or what?
Is this who we are? We would wreak apocalyptic vengeance on a “law abiding restaurant worker” just for using a stolen social security identification and a fake driver’s license who might be receiving various welfare benefits (free health care, maybe an “earned Income tax credit rebate), and possessing all the documents necessary to vote in any election …who is only here in America to provide for his/her family and “enrich” our economy by giving employers his labor cheaper than a US citizen would demand?
Ohh! What have we become?!
Incidently, you ever wonder how you’d be treated if caught using fake or stolen official documents? DLH
