Immigration officials and anti immigrant lawmakers breaking the law? It can’t be. but in this article, they certainly appear to be.
The Chief Border Patrol Officer in New England was charged with hiring undocumented immigrants and will probably go to jail. Big deal, Mitt Romney (twice!), Tom Tancredo, and Gordon Smith all hired undocumented immigrants. Are any of them going to jail? Nope.That smells of hypocrisy!
The Damned Mexican makes this astute observation;
All of these people strongly believe poor and desperate immigrants who risk their lives to come looking for work so they can to feed their families should follow the law even if it means watching their children starve. Wonder how they feel about their own less noble intentions.
Even the darling of the anti immigrant crowd doesn’t escape the brand of hypocrisy. That’s right, Lou Dobbs apparently hire illegals while ranting against them.
Barack Obama has some quick work to do on immigration reform! He can’t afford to ignore the issue or listen to the nativist hate mongers. But I have lots of faith in him, because even during the last weeks he has shown a lot of solid judgment and good character.
