It's been a while since I've been able to post, but this one was too good to pass up. In the wake of Felipe Calderon's arrogance in coming to the US and lecturing us on our immigration policy, Sen. Tom Tancredo from Colorado publish an open letter to Calderon on his web site. I'll let the letter speak for itself.

President Calderon:

 

Well, here we are again, addressing the Dead Fish Wrapper's admonitions that we should ignore our immigration laws and just give illegal immigrants all the same rights and privileges that law-abiding citizens get. Apparently those of us who actually believe in the awful idea of actually enforcing our laws deserve to be scolded again.

Today's arrogant lecture is an editorial about Bank of America's new program to issue credit cards to illegal immigrants.

As is typical with most liberals, the Fish Wrapper editors continue to push the agenda of allowing illegal immigration without doing what is necessary to control it. In today's editorial, Immigration solution must focus on economy, the Fish Wrapper tried to come across is if they are proposing a "thoughful analysis" on immigration reform. Their problem is that they choose to ignore other relevant facts.

To corner immigration in the global economy is to control a huge strategic asset.

Once again, it is time for the Fish Wrapper to defend the illegal immigrants instead of enforcing our immigration laws. A very one-side article discusses the story of Elvira Arellano and her son Saul, and their attempt to avoid deportation back to Mexico. As a refresher, Elvira entered the United States illegally after having been deported back to Mexico once. She was arrested in December, 2001, and convicted of using a fake Social Security number to get a job at O'Hare airport. She received a deportation order - after several extensions that allowed her to stay longer - and instead of obeying the order, ran to a church, and has been hiding there ever since.

What is it about liberals - and the Dead Fish Wrapper editors in particular - that they just don't get the word "illegal", as in illegal immigrants? Don't they understand that laws exist for a reason, and that, in the case of immigrants, breaking them means the law breaker should not be allowed to live here until they do obey the law? In another fine editorial today, the editors make the claim that we should not be building a fence along the border to keep illegal immigrants out.
