I am referring to the editorial (1)mocking the word "amnesty" and (2)referring to illegals as "immigrants." Illegals do not deserve the positive term immigrant any more than a burglar or prison escapee does.
Sadly, when the left uses the term “immigrants,” it always means illegal immigrants. This is just another one of their word games that attempts to obscure the real meaning of what they are saying and doing and cast the worst possible light upon their opponents. Who can come out and say they’re opposed to “immigrants,” in a country built on them?
But aside from that, this prevents people from discussing the real issues: not only how to stop illegal immigration, but what kind of immigration is to be made legal and encouraged. Do we need more Muslims? I think not. But increasing Third World Muslim immigration - LEGALLY - is one of the Obama’s objectives. So we should discuss that, too, but we can’t.
The Dems use the catch-all word “immigrants” to confuse, to make their opponents look bad and to prevent discussion of the real issues.
