I don't believe what I'm reading. Of course, nothing should surprise me
anymore the fact that some things still do is a sign that I still have faith
in our system at all.
It seems that a Republican Club at New York University recently had an event
where people were invited to play a game called "Find the Illegal
Immigrant". Attendees were given name tags and then had to find the person
with "illegal alien" written on their badge. As you can imagine, a place of
tolerance and openess like a New York college isn't going to put up with
this type of thing. It's caused a stink nation wide. Just this week, this
incident began to shake the halls of Congress.
Ramona Martinez (Chairwoman of the DNC Hispanic Caucas) and Howard Dean have
sent an angry letter to the RNC demanding the Campus group be punished.
"These dispicable tactics have no place in our public discourse or on our
college camp[i]," the letter fumes. Funny cause last time I looked,
Americans still had freedom of speech and expression. I guess tolerance has
no place for those who disagree.
The biggest problem Libs have with this activity seems to stem from the
charge of "racism". This is interesting considering that there are illegal
aliens from every section of the world, who speak every language, practice
every religion and have every culture. The second funny part is I can't help
but wonder how many blacks, whites and asians make up the DNC Hispanic
caucus.
I'm sorry if talking about illegal immigration makes aliens feel bad - IT
SHOULD. The number of laws broken by the NYU Republican club = 0. The number
of laws broken by illegal aliens = at least 1.
A lot of Libs have called me a "nationalist" on this issue (as if
Nationalism is a bad thing.) You know what "nationalism" is? It's going to
another country (uninvited), violating the laws of that country, so filled
with your own hybris in your own culture that you refuse to join those
people in their culture and mooch off their system. All illegals want is
live off of us like parasites. They want all the goodies that come with
being an American with none of the responsibilities. Moreover, they don't
want to be called bad for it. Not only are they to rape us, we're supposed
to give up our Constitutional freedoms for the sake of their egos.
The students at NYU should be getting medals, not condemned. They've done
what protests and elections couldn't: they've opened up a SERIOUS dialogue
about the problem. Almost a year ago this debate heated up when Bush pushed
for legislation that would grant amnesty for illegal aliens in our borders.
The public was angry in every single poll. Even amongst immigrants the
numbers demonstrated the people were against the idea. Republican leaders at
the time gave a huge middle finger to all of these people (leading to a
defeat in Nov.)
Despite this, Congress didn't seem to get the message. It's staggering to
think that our government, the people who make and enforce the laws don't
think the law is serious. If there is a group of people who don't like it
and said group could be big enough to effect an election, then the law means
nothing. There are a lot of laws I don't like. Should a bunch of people get
together and decide we're not going to do it anymore?
More frightening still is that the Left is always pushing for new laws: from
health care to the environment. Am I to believe that some time in the future
if a protected group decides they don't want to follow those laws then they
will get their way?
It's just completely unbelievable.
