Recently, President Obama dissed the new Arizona law as unfair. My question is why? The media, the progressive democrats and even some misguided moderates like Michael Medved have painted the "illegal immigrants" as unfortunate victims of US business owners exploitation of them for cheaper wages. Although there might be some truth in part of this, where is the blame for the people who crossed the border illegally? Aren't these defenders of the these people enablers? The fact that the majority of these people are from Mexico is irrelevant. There is a significant number of people from other countries that sneak across the Mexican border as well. This fact is often omitted by the defenders of illegal aliens or to be politically correct-"undocumented workers".
I consider illegal aliens "line cutters who also get in free as well". They are line cutters because they cheat and get in before immigrants or US immigrant wannabes from other more distant countries who sometimes wait for many years before they can get their visas to come to the United States. Often, these people have to pay a high price with forever increasing immigration fees. Yet, the people who cross the border illegally here are not only tolerated, but given an almost "hero type" treatment or at least a "poor victim" status by many people in the media and many of our politicians and government leaders. Why? My theory is to gain political advantage amongst Hispanic or Mexican voters. Lets face it-President Obama and the democrats will need all the help they can in the upcoming election. Finally, I am sure Hollywood will keep showing those heavily slanted one sided movies and documentaries about the evil anti-undocumented bigot who is trying to break-up the happy family of all Mexican-Americans who come here. Unfortunately, we will not see the other side of the issue involving the "LEGAL IMMIGRANTS OR WANNABES" who pay a heavy price to come here. President Obama-where is the fairness for these people?
