The creatively goofy leftists at the \u201cProgressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada\u201d have emerged from their ongoing Frantz Fanon reading group long enough to press the cities of Reno and Las Vegas to support a boycott of Arizona over the new state law there instructing local police to do what they were already allowed to do — call federal authorities if they believe they\u2019ve encountered an immigration violator in the course of their duties.<\/p>\n
Oh, the humanity!<\/p>\n
\u201cPLAN\u201d wants the city councils to reject any new contracts with Arizona-based companies to protest the law.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think our local government should not use our tax dollars to help support the economy of a state that endorses racial profiling,\u201d explained Bob Fulkerson, director of the Reno-based group.<\/p>\n
But Reno City Councilman Dave Aiazzi questioned whether the request would have any practical effect.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know if we do any business with Arizona-based companies,\u201d he said Monday. \u201cThis request is just PR and nothing more.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leave aside for the moment such practical objections, and the fact that Nevada — with one of the nation\u2019s most tourist-driven economies and currently one of its hardest stricken — can ill afford to get into a \u201cboycott war\u201d with anyone, even if the cause made sense.<\/p>\n
Beyond that, the fact is the Arizona law is favored by a majority of Americans, and with good reason.<\/p>\n
The Arizona law requires that police conducting traffic stops or questioning people about possible legal violations ask them about their immigration status if there is \u201creasonable suspicion\u201d that they\u2019re in the country illegally.<\/p>\n
Duh.<\/p>\n
Police in every nation from Mexico to Argentina to the Congo to Red China will stop and ask for your \u201cpapers\u201d if they perceive you\u2019re a foreigner. That\u2019s \u201cracial profiling\u201d (which, by the way, is specifically barred under the Arizona act.) Why doesn\u2019t PLAN call for boycotting those nations — and all of the 190 others that seek to control their own borders?<\/p>\n
(What would Neveda\u2019s economy look if tourists from all 194 of those nations decided to reciprocate by staying home?)<\/p>\n
Those who favor unlimited illegal immigration, turning America into an awkwardly bilingual nation, her public schools and emergency rooms flooded with impoverished, ill-educated scofflaws while well-educated, English-speaking, law-abiding, skilled would-be immigrants of all races wait and wait and wait their turn overseas — whereupon all the extended FAMILIES of these illegal aliens would have to be admitted in preference over skilled workers from Asia and Africa — have yet to explain why they also claim to seek \u201creform of the nation\u2019s immigration laws.\u201d<\/p>\n
If their position is that the law shouldn\u2019t be enforced anyway, what possible difference can it make to them whether and how the written law is \u201creformed\u201d?<\/p>\n
What they seek is amnesty for the invading horde — as though King Alfred had said, \u201cWhat the heck, let\u2019s all just learn to speak Danish.\u201d<\/p>\n
But amnesty was tried in 1986 — at which point its proponents swore up and down it would never happen again, it COULD never happen again, because simultaneous with THAT amnesty the \u201cborder would be secured.\u201d<\/p>\n
So in addition to being morons, the leaders of this Kabuki of cultural suicide are also liars.<\/p>\n
Ask them, \u201cIf you\u2019ve agreed for 24 years that the border must be \u2018secured,\u2019 why are there still no well-marked minefields? Or is what you seek actually a TRI-lingual nation, where some people speak Spanish, some people speak English, and some people speak whatever language that is you\u2019re using?\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
