I never understand the liberals on immigration.
Because we have a history as a nation of immigrants, then that means that we have to have unfettered illegal immigration? That means that we have to grant residency, and all sorts of government benefits, to anyone, from anywhere in the world, under all circumstances?????
Why does that make sense?
At one time, immigrants helped build this country, settled the frontier, worked in industries which grew after the industrial revolution.
We don’t need massive numbers of immigrants to build this country or work in our business and industry. Yet to the liberals, we should still allow unlimited immigration. Even though times have changed, liberals want us to think it’s still 1890 or 1900.
I wonder what the opinion of professors such as this author would be, if illegal aliens were coming in to work in his job field, and resulted in curbs to his job potential and earnings, due to his having to compete with immigrants, legal or otherwise, for his work.
There are plenty of foreign communist professors who would be willing to work for less than half of what this brainiac is paid.
“At one time, immigrants helped build this country, settled the frontier, worked in industries which grew after the industrial revolution.”
and while doing that they were not on the government dole nor a blight on their neighborhoods and taxpayers.
Do you really not get it? They want them here because they come from countries where the populace is dependent on government to supply their needs - which is what the democrats need to stay in power. Importing hordes of these types of people creates a n endless supply of victims that need government to provide for them.
” ... that means that we have to have unfettered illegal immigration?”
Like charitable giving, the US has one of the most open, accepting immigration systems in the world, as well as people who understand and accept immigrants.
Say, as compared to Mexico ... and many, many others.
But this professor of yellow journalism just wants to parade his lieberal credentials—maybe he’s seeking tenure or was recently caught with a live boy or dead girl.
Like Hollyweird actors who say really outrageous things—when they need work.
In any event, he’s bravely standing and reciting ... what they all believe. Obamagumbe says it, so it must be true; Big Bro’ does it, so it must be good.
I would be impressed if a professor stood and said, “Why aren’t we enforcing our immigration laws?”. It would probably be front page news in the `Chronicle of Higher Edumacation’.
We aren’t a nation of immigrants, we were founded by Brits rebelling against Britain, and immigration didn’t even kick off until generations after our founding, unfortunately, those immigrants who started coming in the mid 1800s brought their liberalism with them and started voting, and they vote the same today.
