Re: Patrick Cleburne’s Blog: Schumer
Makes Nice: Meaning What?
Patrick Cleburne doesn’t trust
Senator Chuck Schumer’s
sudden embrace of proper language (e.g., using illegal
aliens instead of
“undocumented workers”) in the immigration debate.
But
Lou Dobbs
may have fallen for it.
Said Dobbs on his national television program:
“Well, some remarkably honest
discussion tonight on the debate over illegal
immigration from what many would consider an unlikely
source.
Senator Chuck Schumer
of New York saying straightforwardly, that illegal
immigration is wrong and Americans overwhelmingly oppose
illegal immigration. It is something we do not often
hear in this debate from either the left or the right.
“Senator
Schumer
flatly rejecting euphemisms that have, well, been used
by many to obfuscate the issue rather than illuminate
it.
“Well, the
senator is obviously trying to assert, with the good
faith, honest language, and in that regard, it is
something to watch as to whether or not his lead is
followed. Using the word, illegal, the expression or
term, illegal alien, rather than undocumented worker or
migrant, as some news organizations, as well as
partisans and advocates in this national debate have
done. [Transcript

Cleburne
claims he doesn’t
believe in Santa Claus.
But perhaps Dobbs does. Kryhoski’s previous letter about the HUD cover up of illegal immigration’s role in the mortgage role is here. |
