Here’s a good point at Human Events by Nathanael Blake:
Pro-amnesty Hysteria
Well that didn’t take long. A liberal Washington Post columnist implicitly compared opponents of amnesty to Nazis today, while misrepresenting their position. Eugene Robinson writes that:
any serious attempt to drive them out of the country — even “temporarily,” so they could apply to be let back in — would be indistinguishable from a pogrom.
Would SWAT teams of immigration officers descend on neighborhoods and go door to door? Would they snatch children out of schools? Where would they take these people? To special camps? To the nearest border?
Pogroms were not the exclusive domain of the National Socialists, but that’s what comes to mind first. And even if he meant, say, pogroms in Czarist Russia, would it have been any more accurate? Those of us who oppose amnesty aren’t suggesting that we send SWAT teams into schools to round up illegals. Rather, we want the border guarded and immigration law enforced. We want a crackdown on businesses that hire illegal immigrants. We want illegals who are arrested for other crimes to be deported.
Secure the borders.
Enforce our laws.
Make English our official language.
Stop diluting the American culture.
