This morning’s editorial in the New York Times is beyond parody. Why is The Onion still in business?
The relentlessly harsh Republican campaign against immigrants …
Would that be the campaign that fielded Juan Hernández as its Hispanic outreach Director? The guy who says (in that clip): “I want the third generation, the seventh generation, I want them all to think ‘Mexico first!’”?
Of course, there was that time last summer when immigrant Derb and his immigrant wife had to cower in the basement while a howling mob of McCain operatives hurled rocks through our windows. Fortunately there were some New York Times readers nearby to come and rescue us.
… the cruelty of enforcement-only regimes …
Is it the enforcement of our country’s laws that is cruel, or the desire only to enforce the laws?
After quoting Marcus Epstein, the editorial says:
It is easy to mock white-supremacist views as pathetic …
Marcus’s Mom is Korean; his Dad is Jewish. Funny kind of person to have white-supremacist views.
You can’t make this stuff up.
