Even if her “Alexander Hamilton was an Illegal Immigrant” quote were true, what are the political ramifications? Is she trying to say that because one illegal immigrant did something positive, we should:
a) Allow all illegal immigrants
b) Not criticize illegal immigrants
c) Allow them to be student body presidents
How does her premise actually work, using real logic instead of Oprah Winfrey logic?
Suppose 40 Mexicans snuck into this country illegally twenty years ago. Now, we learn that today, 40 of them are living quiet lives as bus boys, landscapers, etc. We learn that 9 of them are heavily involved in the narcotics trade. The last guy worked his way through medical school and is a famous surgeon who invented several life-saving techniques. What, exactly, do any of these hypothetical outcomes have to do with immigration policy and law enforcement?
Duh. I meant fifty. It's hard to keep track.
