Welcome to Open Borders Fantasy Land!
The open borders lobby consistently relies on disingenuous arguments to advance its agenda. Chief among those fallacious claims is the notion that enforcing U.S. immigration law somehow constitutes a “human rights” violation. And the Huffington Post has published yet another puff-piece by an American immigration attorney feigning righteous indignation at the “civil liberties abuses” allegedly suffered by illegal aliens.
Titled “The Republicans Reclaim America by Cleansing it of All Noncitizens” it was authored by Juan Cartagena, President and General Counsel of “Latino Justice,” at the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund (PRLDEF). And it is filled with legal mischaracterizations so egregious, they read like 1950s era Soviet anti-American propaganda.
Mr. Cartagena begins by claiming that President Trump is trading American values (particularly due process of law) in order to “cleanse” the country of illegal aliens. Apart from the outrageously offensive implication that the current administration is a white supremacist organization bent on ethnic cleansing, he’s just plain wrong. The Trump administration hasn’t suggested, in any way, that it wishes to see aliens deprived of due process. In fact, it is patently obvious that Team Trump sees fair and open deportation proceedings as one way of vindicating its claims about the deleterious effects of criminal aliens and uncontrolled mass migration by job seekers.
