All this “backlash” and “anger” or whatever you call it, is simply enforcing the existing laws. All we’re seeing is increasing enforcement of existing immigration laws which have not been enforced in the past.
It’s already against the law to sneak into this country.
It’s already against the law to be here illegally and work.
It’s already illegal to overstay a tourist or other visa and stay in this country.
It’s already illegal for employers to hire people here illegally.
AND THIS IS NOT A BACKLASH AGAINST IMMIGRATION PER SE. It’s against ILLEGAL aliens. Nothing is being changed regarding existing immigration law, nor is anyone serious proposing cutting back legal immigration.
The MSM, in my opinion does a very poor job reporting on immigration and illegals and all the related issues. They consistently fail to make the distinction between legal immigration and illegal immigration.
Is there truly anything that they are not poor at reporting? They form an opinion (usually an uneducated one), take a position and that is what they present, and if it doesn't line up with the truth, oh well. Truth is relative anyway, right? < /sarcasm >
