NY Times Ties Illegal Immigration Foes To Racist Terrorists
It’s like some left-wing mealy-mouthed puke from the Huffington Post or The Daily Kos is the puppeteer over at the NYT…oh wait…
The front of the New York Times Week in Review is dominated by business columnist-reporter David Leonhardt’s “The Border And The Ballot Box,” his slanted essay on anti-immigration crusades then and now. The accompanying drawings give the debate the feel of a prison camp, with Americans as prison guards and potential illegals as prisoners, and the archive illustrations on the jump page include a drawing of a burning church, bearing the caption:
Anti-Catholic — Burning of St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church in Philadelphia, 1844. As immigration soared, so did nativist reaction.
Another archive illustration is captioned:
Anti-Chinese — An illustration of a massacre published in Harper’s Weekly, 1885. Chinese laborers were attacked by white coal miners.
Get the hint? If you are against illegal immigration today, you are akin to “nativist,” violent, racist mobs from over a century ago.
Throughout the long piece, Leonhardt blithely refers to anti-immigration movements, without bothering to clarify that what most protestors oppose is illegal immigration, not immigration per se.
