Thanks to Hillary Clinton, the Democrats’ big secret is out: They too hate migration.

Thanks to a rare unscripted moment for Hillary Clinton, the Democrats’ big secret is out: It’s not only President Donald Trump and his supporters who loath immigrants knocking at our doors. Too many Democrats also reject “migration,” she reminds us.

How could I forget?

Before Bill Clinton was president, we were called Cuban refugees.

Even during the unruly Mariel boatlift of 1980 that brought 125,000 people to South Florida during Jimmy Carter’s presidency, it remained so. But as Clinton faced the challenge of thousands of Cubans taking to the seas in rickety homemade rafts — 35,000 by the exodus’ end — we became “migrants,” so named by his administration. Haitian refugees, too, fleeing bloody regimes and poverty earned the title, both groups intercepted at sea and detained at newly erected refugee camps at the Navy base in in Guantanamo, Cuba.

Migrant, a word coined by government types to lump together people fleeing for their lives, has a flightiness to it that I detest. It implies people in desperate circumstances have a choice to make — and they choose the convenience of fleeing. It is not so.

But most of all, this vague word keeps privileged, safe people detached from the view of life being sucked out of others.

With a vocabulary stripped from humanity, you can talk about “the migration issue,” as Hillary Clinton has done in an interview....
