The profiling argument is a red herring. It's the one argument progressives know they can make in regards to illegal aliens that has a chance of sticking. If progressives ruled the country to the degree they wish, our borders would be completely open, with manned centers every few miles, with sign-up sheets and hand-outs (in the appropriate language of course) for anyone that wished to enter the country for Medicare, Medicaid, SS, ADC and all other social programs available here in the U.S.
Anyone could come in that wanted to and anyone could leave, regardless of what they were carrying in or carrying out. People from countries that wish to kill us all because we're not Muslims, people seeking free benefits, people looking to commit crimes and leave, whatever, it wouldn't make a difference, in they'd come and out they'd go.
They want it so damned bad that they'll throw the one thing in your face that they know has a chance for them to get their way. That being the evils of profiling!
Our very own government, during this administration of our dear leader, Mr. Obama, decided that profiling was a more effective means of determining who wants to blow up airplanes than the across the board screening they were doing. It was a long time coming and I applaud them for coming to their senses and being grownup enough to both implement it and be public about it. It's good enough for air travel, but it's a crime against humanity to do it in this regard. Riiight.
Don't bother arguing with progressives about profiling. It's an Alinsky tactic that should just be ignored - always. Alinsky also taught these same people that ridicule was a potent weapon. Turn it back against them. Laugh at these tactics or at the very least ignore them.
There is a reason that our current administration and many others before it choose to deal with this situation in the manner that they do. Illegals from Mexico send so much money back to family members at home that it is the second highest source of revenue for Mexico. Our American dollars. The only thing that exceeds it is revenue from oil sales. If illegals from Mexico in this country were dealt with in a clear and consistent manner, deporting them in conjunction with truly securing our borders, the Mexican economy would collapse.
I bring up the OTM list here fairly regularly. Nobody wants to talk about that. OTM stands for 'Other than Mexicans'. It contains only those that are actually caught from nations other than Mexico. Only those that are actually caught, hmm, 12 to 13 million illegals, why, there could be an absolute shitload of these people. The list has people from Yemen, Afghanistan, Sudan, etc. It's a who's who of every nation on the planet that wants to do our people harm and see our way of life and our nation destroyed.
We must secure our borders to minimize this threat. It cannot be ignored. We all know amnesty is in the cards for illegals. But we must deport those that are criminals. But our borders must first be secured.
If progressives had their way, the only illegals that would be deported would be those that voluntarily turned themselves in to the authorities. Correct that, they would only potentially be deported. Progressives hate authorities! They'd get rid of them too. There would be nobody for them to turn themselves in to.
Don't fall for this shit. Don't fall for these tactics.
