“The notion that enforcing immigration law in the case of illegal immigrants constitutes ‘discrimination’ is logically the same as saying that enforcing the laws against stealing cars constitutes ‘discrimination’ against auto thieves.”
by Nicholas Stix
While President George W. Bush, ICE, and Congress act as if the U.S. had no immigration laws and no borders, some heroic local officials and private organizations have nevertheless sought, against all odds, to enforce and uphold immigration law. And every time they have done so, the ACLU has been there to fight them, on behalf of the criminals invading America.
A study of the tactics of local ACLU chapters across the country and the national ACLU reveals a distinct, coordinated strategy of six components:
1. Abusing the English language, by referring to illegal immigrants as “immigrants” and “undocumented workers,” in order to make it seem as if illegal immigrants, all of whom are criminals (and in the case of those who have previously been deported, felons), were law-abiding, legal residents;
2. Misrepresenting immigration law, to make it appear as though law enforcement officials were harassing non-criminals;
3. Misrepresenting the duties of local law enforcement, to make it appear as though they were abusing their power, in order to discriminate against “immigrants”;4. Misrepresenting the actions of local law enforcement, to make it appear as though they were “racially profiling immigrants”;
5. Initiating frivolous lawsuits targeting any actions by state or local officials enforcing immigration law, including but not limited to actions which prevented illegal immigrants from enjoying privileges and services to which they were not legally entitled; and
6. Expanding the above five strategies to other types of law, such as election law, in conspiring to rig American elections through flooding them with the fraudulent votes of illegal immigrants.
For instance, an April 16, 2005 ACLU press release that was published by BBS News as if it were a news story asserted,
“Since April 1, armed private individuals under the so-called ‘Minuteman project’ have come to Arizona for the purported purpose of spotting and reporting individuals who the Minutemen claim are violating federal immigration law. In fact, there have been growing reports and allegations of abuse of immigrants as a result of the Minutemen’s activities. Increasingly, it appears that private citizens near the Arizona border are engaging in illegal treatment of immigrants….”
“Eleanor Eisenberg, Executive Director of the ACLU of Arizona, added, ‘The Minuteman project has created a powder-keg situation with the potential to go beyond harassment and false imprisonment to real violence. We hope that our observer project will continue to shed light on the activities of the Minutemen and will ensure that private citizens do not detain, harass or humiliate others in violation of the law.’”
The press release spoke of criminals as “immigrants” and as crime victims, while defaming as criminals the Minutemen, who were in fact upholding not only the spirit but the letter of the law.
In spite of the defamatory charges it made (“harassment and false imprisonment”), the ACLU did not even claim to have evidence that the Minutemen had violated any laws. Thus, the ACLU was agitating to have the legal rights of American citizens violated, at the same time that it was agitating for rights to be granted to illegal aliens that do not exist in American law.
The ACLU speaks of “discrimination” to describe the mere enforcement of immigration law, and of “alienage,” to insinuate that people whose very existence on American soil is a crime, were a group deserving of civil rights protection.
