Matthews: Deporting Illegals Would Be A 'Pogrom'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/28/2010 3:47:08 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Pogrom: etymology--Yiddish, from Russian, literally, devastation. "An organized massacre of helpless people; specifically, such a massacre of Jews." -- Merriam-Webster

Chris Matthews has pulled off the rare unassisted triple-play of inanity. On this evening's Hardball, he:

1. Argued that enforcing the Arizona immigration law would put police officers in danger because illegals caught in a stop would be under tremendous "moral pressure" to use violence to escape.

2. Repeatedly abused a Republican guest. For the sin of disagreeing with him on immigration law, Matthews variously slimed Arizona state Sen. Rick Murphy as a "B.S. artist," a "hopeless right-winger," and "not serious."

3. Most egregiously, claimed that deporting illegal immigrants from the US would constitute a "pogrom."

So I guess we will just have to wait until the Mexican Drug Cartels mass killings and mass graves start appearing here in America.

This is a pogrom.

Its what Lefties like Matthews would do to illegals if all of a sudden they voted 80% Republican.

Off topic (Chrissie Tingles is a stupid pompous jerk) but IIRC, “pogrom” comes from the Russian, where “grom” means “thunder”. Pogroms were carried out by mounted Cossacks who rode in like thunder, burning and despoliating Jewish shtetls, while carrying out other atrocities against those who had the misfortune to have been born Jewish.

The longlived Soviet foreign minister Andrei Gromyko was often referred to as “grim Grom”, whose dour expression could darken a clear sky, it was said.

Our school systems are overwhelmed with them in Washington state. Which means...in one more generation...

Just make it illegal to give ANY taxpayer money supported aid to illegals AND a Felony punishable by ten years in a hardcore Federal prison for employers hiring an illegal alien and they`ll have no choice but to self deport.

deporting illegal immigrants from the US would constitute a "pogrom."

1929--U.S. tightens visa rules which reduces Mexican immigration. Local, state and federal government officials debate what to do with those already here. Some Mexicans returned either voluntarily or under pressure from local welfare officials. Others were deported. Eventually between about 500,000 to 1,000,000 Mexicans left the United States between 1929 and 1939. This was due to deportation, as well as other factors such as the threat of deportation and acute unemployment.

1954--President Dwight D. Eisenhower launches “Operation Wetback” With only 1,075 Border Patrol agents, tens of thousands of illegal aliens were caught and sent back deep into Mexico

A Pogrom works for me

Shipping them back to Mexico in air-conditioned buses is EXACTLY like how the Jews were treated. I wish the Jews would stop complaining, said Oliver Stone, they had it easy.

Libs like to paint immigrants as poor hardworking people who are being unfairly targeted. There may be some who fit in that category but there’s also:

1. Many crooks among that group and they’re hurting Americans and American’s property.

2. Even the majority of non-crooks aren’t helping this country, most of them support their families in Mexico and are exporting billions of U.S. dollars to the Mexican economy.

3. They didn’t accidentally stumble across the border, they knew they were breaking the law and that they would be sent back if caught. THEY KNEW THEY WERE BREAKING THE LAW!

This makes me think that before Obama’s term is over he is going to do whatever he can to pass amnesty, and to think that some posters choose to pick on Sarah for some comments she may or may not have made about the issue, when it is Obama and his party that will steamroll amnesty as they passed healthcare.
