America Has an Immigration Problem
But Liberals Have a Problem With the Problem
Do
we have an immigration problem? Yes, we do. But that depends of what the
meaning of “we†is, if you know what I mean. If by “we†you mean we Americans,
then yes, there is an immigration problem for America. If you are a
conservative and you say “we†have a problem and that “we†means we Americans,
then yes, there is a problem in America. Now comes the hard part. If you are a
liberal – like, say, Katie Couric – and you say “we†have a problem you don’t
mean we Americans…you mean we liberals.
In
our politics today, the invasion of America by criminal aliens is not what is
always meant when the phrase “immigration problem†is used. To our liberal
friends the problem is not stopping the invasion, but stopping those who want
to stop the invasion. Let me explain:
Liberals
do not think of America in the same light as others. While most of us think of
America as a country that is great, and that it is great due to our commitment
to the rule of law, individualism and, most significantly, to the freedom and
extraordinarily high standard of living that Capitalism has produced, the
liberals think of America as a country that is not great, just lucky. Liberals
do not like Capitalism because it encourages individualism and individualism
allows the common man to become uncommon. In the liberal mind, allowing the
unwashed to be left to their own devices is dangerous. To do so, in the mind of
a liberal, is to take the risk of inequality. The last thing a liberal wants is
for some person who, just because she or he wants to reach their full
potential, will break the liberal caste system.
Now,
how liberals can make the leap from seeing the greatness surrounding them to
thinking that Capitalism has been bad for America is beyond me. But they do. I
think their thinking goes something like this: “America is missing a great
opportunity to become a better place and would be if we replaced this horrible
Capitalism with Socialism. Then everybody would be equally wealthy and nobody
would be unequally wealthy.†In simpler terms, they think that getting rid of
the lead in pencils would provide everybody with an equal writing ability.
“Let’s make everybody poor and then we will have equalityâ€, they say.
The
problem for the liberals is that most people do not want to vote for a kind of
government that would confiscate the tools they use to build an independent
life in order to make them “equalâ€. But the problem for America, indeed, the
world, is that there are some people that would fall for this empty promise.
Bowing to political correctness I will pretend sensitivity and refer to these
people as the politically untutored.
And
that brings us back to the immigration “problemâ€. As I stated above, the
liberals do not consider an onslaught of politically untutored voters a
problem. Indeed to the liberals a growing caste of politically untutored people
means more votes they can tally. As we have seen throughout history, the lower
the political sophistication of the voter the more likely that voter will fall
for false and unrealistic promises. The only way the liberals can gain and keep
the power they need to crush individualism and replace it with forced
plebeianism is to find enough of the politically untutored to take advantage
of.
And
when enough of the politically untutored are running around the United States
and stealing into the voting booth, the liberals will gain control of the
country. “Ignorance…we need more of that†is the liberal cry.
With
enough ignorance (oops, I mean politically untutored) migrating to America, the
liberals will have the votes to bring the same kind of government to America
that these politically ignorant (dang it, I meant to say untutored there…beg
your pardon) migrants are breaking the law to escape in their own country.
Then
the only problem the liberals will have is deciding which one on them gets to
be the next Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, or better yet, Kim Jong Il.
