Liberals, Illegal Immigration, and Their Arguments Supporting It

The hysterical, out of proportion response to the Arizona law enforcing federal immigration laws by the left demonstrates with total clarity not only how out of touch they are with the rest of the country, but also how desperate they are to support illegal immigration.

Within days of passage of the law calls for boycotts and demonstrations by the illegal immigration lobby and other far left groups sprung up around the country. These protests are highly organized astroturf protests designed to give the appearance of public disapproval of the Arizona law. But polls show overwhelming approval in Arizona and around the nation for enforcement of immigration laws. Why is the left so desperate to oppose any effort to confront the problem of illegal immigration? The answer is simple: politics.

The changing demographics in America brought about by illegal immigration will give the left ever increasing power, especially if the communities formed by illegals do not integrate into American society. The left, for all their denials and protestations, know that they are out of touch on most issues with the American public, yet they are determined to take America as far to the left as they can. So how can they take this country to where they want it to go? They must import the new majority.

Of course they cannot outright say they support illegal immigration without incurring the wrath of the electorate so they use the race card to tar and feather those who want to enforce immigration laws as racist, and frame the language of amnesty in the foggiest possible light: "A path to citizenship."

To attempt to blunt enforcement arguments directly they will paint the possibility of securing the border as hopeless and raise the strawman of deportation of every single last illegal in the nation being an equally impossible task. Yes, even if we enforce the laws on the books and get all the resources needed we will not find and deport every single last illegal in the country, but that is no reason not to enforce immigration laws. Not every armed robbery or murder will be solved, that isn't reason not to try to solve as many as possible.
