Illegal immigration is another area where the true racist and misogynistic tendencies of Liberals/Leftists appear. They have turned a blind eye to things like human trafficking as well as other extremely harmful aspects of illegal immigration, not only to our own economy, but to the people coming here illegally themselves.

Instead, they are currently more concerned with demonizing the state of Arizona and it’s new illegal immigration law than they are concerned with protecting the rights of citizens. They’ve also proven that they care not one whit about the people coming here illegally. They aren’t human beings to them; they are merely political pawns and cheap labor.

For instance, the feminist sites are up in arms over Arizona’s new law. Naturally, they do not understand the law in the slightest; most have not even read it, I’m sure. That doesn’t stop them from opening their mouths and proving their foolishness, though, as always. Take this article at Feministe, for example, full of hysterical screeching prior to the bill’s passage:

In Arizona, the legislature looks set to pass a truly terrifying anti-immigration bill that would, among other thing, allow police to arrest undocumented immigrants on the charge of trespassing simply for being in the state.

Um. Isn’t that what being illegal means? That you are not in the state legally? Feministing (I know. Can’t they come up with more original names?) had this to say, after the bill’s passage:

I attended this vigil on Saturday night in DC to protest the Arizona anti-immigrant legislation and stand in solidarity with the people of Arizona.

Apparently, she doesn’t understand what standing in solidarity means, as 70% of Arizonians approve of the bill (as do close to 60% of the American people as a whole). Nor does she understand the English language. The bill aims to fix the problem of illegal immigration. It’s not anti-immigration itself.  As usual, the truth doesn’t matter to the left. The rest of the article goes on to demonize Arizona further, mentioning ways to take “action against the legislation.”

What isn’t mentioned ever? Concern for The Children ™ who are suffering due to strained medical and educational resources. Concern for our own minority and lower income communities who are losing jobs or are earning lower incomes due to the cheap labor in the form of illegal immigration. Apparently, having their lawns manicured and their tables bussed cheaply means more to the left than the human beings providing such services. Why have legal immigrants when you can have illegal ones as figurative slaves, huh, left?

Nor do they show concern For the Women, who are brought here, smuggled in illegally, as slaves. This time, I mean that literally.

Colonel Randy Powers with the Guilford County Sheriff’s Department said Caballero was one of four men inside the home holding a female against her will.  He says all four men are in the U.S. illegally.  He didn’t reveal the age of the victim, but also said she is not from the U.S.  “We have good reason to believe she was being forced to have sex with patrons that were coming in,” says Powers when explaining the abuses the victim suffered.

Human trafficking and the exploitation of women is a direct result of condoning and allowing wide open borders and massive illegal immigration. And the left doesn’t care. What’s a little enslavement and forced prostitution if it gets us some cheap labor and more bodies at the ballot box? Because that’s what they are to them. Just bodies. Super oppressed pawns, used to their own political means. Like the woman in the story above, many females smuggled in illegally are being prostituted twice. Once at the hands of their human traffickers and a second time at the hands of the left.

I am pro-immigration. I welcome all who strive for a better life for themselves and for their children. Who are willing to come here, obey our laws, work hard and embrace freedom. Legally.

I also believe in human dignity and the sanctity of life. As such, unlike the left, I recognize illegal immigration for what it is:

The new slavery.

    “I am pro-immigration. I welcome all who strive for a better life for themselves and for their children. Who are willing to come here, obey our laws, work hard and embrace freedom. Legally.”

    I am pro-immigration. I welcome all who understand and approve of what the founders of this nation accomplished with the creation of the United States of America Constitution, strive for a better life for themselves and for their children. Who are willing to come here, obey our laws, work hard and embrace freedom. Legally.

    Many who come here do not love the ideal of America, only what America gives them with no understanding of why America can offer this to them. Those of this sort I do not welcome.

    While it is required to take a test to become a citizen, the test is not really in depth of determining if they understand why America can offer so much to her citizens and even those around the world we have enough bounty to help beyond our borders. I think a real test should be given just for the application to get started on the path to citizenship, a test that for certain one United States president would fail supremely.

      Freedom sometimes entails failure and hardship. Freedom isn’t fair or perfect or some sort of utopian dream of unicorns and rainbows and free candy. Nor is it supposed to be. Freedom provides equal opportunity, but not automatic equal results.

      • davesinsanantonio

        You get to choose which dreams yuu embrace and which rainbows you want to chase. True,, the candy is not free, but you can dream of it. The only stipulation is that you do not try to make it “free” by stealing it, because then you are infringing on the freedom on another. You are free to fail as well as free to succeed. If you look at history, most successful people were failures more than once. Even Washington lost more battles than he won, And, Edison is famous for his failures and his celebration of them.

  • crosley

    …is a mass exodus of illegals back home. They see the writing on the wall, and it’s clear Americans are rejecting the open borders message. The fringe element of society are those that DON’T want our laws enforced.

    If 20 million illegal immigrants are made American citizens, the Democrats will control this country for several generations. That’s what all this hysteria is about, the dream is slipping through their fingers.

    Illegal immigrants come here for a better of life. If laws are passed and enforced to deny them that, they will leave with a strategy of attrition. They also won’t come in droves if we have real border enforcement.

    If you can effectively seal the border (easily done), pass sanctions against employers that hire illegal aliens, and deny them all public benefits, you’ve taken care of about 90% of the problem. The rest will take care of itself.

    • seattle_ite

      …why are we no holding Mecico’s feet to the fire, on this issue?

      Senor Calderon thinks that we Americans are violating ‘Human Rights’, by enforcing our border laws as stringently as the Mexican (or any other) governments do. If he was so concerned with the ‘rights’ of the downtrodden, wouldn’t he be better served by FIXING HIS OWN SYSTEM, so that his people wouldn’t have to come to the U.S.A for a better life?????

    • bassethound

      If these 20 million illegals were pro-life, tea party Republicans, all those “social justice” types would be tripping over themselves in order to build a wall and keep them out.

  • Mark D

    so much as they are concerned that they will lose a huge voting block should amnesty become the order of the day. They’re hoping that the illegals will, upon receiving citizenship, shuffle up to the voting booths and blindly vote Democrat.

    • acat

      And yet, both the Repubs and the Dems are acting as though it’s so.

      Insane. Just insane.

      The first side that recognizes immigrants are individuals, and generates a message appealing to the individual will win. Not a bloc, but a group of individuals.

      Mew

      • Achance

        voting as a bloc against their own individual interests. There are LOTS and LOTS of Blacks making over $50K and it is in nobody’s interest who makes that much or more to ever vote for a Democrat, yet they do in droves (I’ll make an exception for the people who are so rich that the money doesn’t matter; they vote Democrat for ego reasons.”

        So far, minorities in America have followed leaders and watched parking meters, don’t see it changing any time soon. And if you want really pursue that, look at the ultimate minority, the defeated South after the Civil War. There should have been a revolution in The South by the ’90s and they should have killed the ruling class there, but the ruling class could just play the poor Whites against the poor Blacks endlessly and they both screwed themselves into a century of penury by being dumb enough to go along with it.

        • acat

          Japanese-Americans aren’t a bloc, and Pakistani-Americans don’t seem to be a bloc either. Chinese-Americans and Thai-Americans and Vietnamese-Americans aren’t blocs. Not sure about the Native American Alaskans… you’re in a better place than I to estimate that.

          Going back further, Irish-Americans, Italian-Americans, German-Americans – all faced some resistance at first, but are no longer blocs.

          Yes, the African-American experience has been different, and the results have been as well. I’m not sure why, or what it’ll take to change, but .. my sense is that it is changing, just slowly.

          Mew

          • Achance

            All those earlier immigrant groups were given no special status. Nor were Blacks who lived outside The South. But from the 1950s, Blacks and the groups who have come along after them, notably Hispanics, have had “special” status, which has made them “special” and hopelessly dependent on government.

          • blooch

            one way or the other, they don’t matter to either party like black or Hispanic blocs. They’re just too small. I disagree with you about the Chinese-Americans not voting as a bloc, too. I believe, based on anecdotal experiences, that they are 80-90% Democrat voters.

            All of the groups you mentioned, and probably all recent immigrant groups, have learned to work the system via grievance groups and Government Program navigators. They found out fast that, for them, it’s not so much about voting strength, but more about working the bureaucracies and entitlement programs to get the loot. If this means voting Democrat to keep the spigot turned on they’ll do that, too, but I can tell you from experience that one of the first things that new immigrants are taught in their communities is where the “Free Stuff” taps are located, and everybody knows which party has a proven history of delivering the most stuff.

            I have witnessed the spectacle of an older, more entrenched immigrant group leading anothe newer group to the trough. Both groups came from countries where dependence on authoritarian governments was a fact of life, and they brought that mindset lock, stock and barrel to the U. S. The positive reinforcement for this behavior that they get from pandering politicians and bureaucratic salesmen fosters a cycle that is hard to break.

        • Leopard1996

          Is that there has been a poor job on the part of the GOP and conservatives to show effectively how their philosophies and policies would actually help them . A majority of that I do blame on the media, but to a small extent the GOP does tend to just ignore the black issue outright instead of tackling it head on. Sites like this one do a good job, but the folks here and in the rest of the blogosphere just doesn’t get outside of that circle.

      • Scope

        in the hispanic voting block, for the Democrats, it is a major voting block. Hell, for the O, if he can take donations from Mickey Mouse, and it is considered a valid donation, then his favored ACORN type organizations will register illegals. Aren’t their many many voting districts that only require a utility bill for proof of residence? Haven’t there been many dead people that have registered/voted? Do you think that the Democrats really want an Illegal Immigration reform bill, or to close the borders? NO They have many to tap, legal or not.

  • Vannek

    That so many people are volunteering for servitude and lining up to be trafficked (even paying for it) is what appalls me. The psychology behind that would be fascinating.

    • http://phxg.wordpress.com/ phxg

      Poverty, corruption and a built-in inability to improve ones life is their way of life. These people are so desperate they will accept offers we would find appalling if for nothing more than because even servitude is an improvement to what they currently have.

      And look deep inside yourself and see if you too would not do the exact same thing if that was your only option available. And since the cost is considerably higher, and longer for the legal method, it’s a gamble they take: Trust the coyote for ~$5K and get to America or pay ~$12K and get turned down by either nations.

      On the other hand, it also depends on which method you choose to cross. If you end up with the drug cartel coyotes, which costs less, you get to lug 25# of drugs on your back. If you find a reputable coyote, you walk for 15 miles and have a bus waiting. You can feed your family or you can stay in Mexico, what do you do?

    • cabanon

      You have to make it worse here for illegals than it is for them in Mexico and Mexico is quite frankly a hell hole.

    In 2008 there was a drop house discovered in West Phoenix, Maryvale for those in the know. It was targeted by the Phoenix PD kidnapping task force as a possible location where a victim was being held.

    Upon entering the house they found in the bathroom a 4×4 foot by 6 foot deep hole in the floor. Because most homes here are built upon a solid cement slab this was highly unusual. After interrogation of the kidnappers, who incidentally were not of the drug cartel variety it was learned that the plan was to get as much of the ransom as possible, kill or bury alive the victim and cement the hole, repairing the floor as though nothing was ever awry.

    There are good coyotes out there and I have heard that the ‘reputable’ ones are not harassed, much. Which seems like a tacit acceptance of their activities; which in deed appears to be the policy Washington is taking. But like everything illegal, criminals are attracted and thats the problem.

    Tall fence, wide gate. America is a great place, but it’s gotta be legal.

  • lynnbo

    Sad but Dems new campaign ad should state

    We would rather abort millions of unborn Americans everyyear than deport a few thousand illegal criminals !

    Vote for ABORT VS DEPORT!!!!

    Twisted logic once again, especailly coming from the black community claiming Arizona is racists while they destroy millions of unborn blacks or potentially great citizens. They would rather have the law breakers

  • dwscho

    Many of the liberals and the politicians who represent them come form states with big agricultural interests, eg. California, who rely upon the cheap labor furnished by illegal immigrants. IMHO many of these businesses don’t want to stop the flow of illegal immigrants because they would then find it necessary to pay a “living wage” to get Americans to work for them. I think economics is a huge factor in this debate which certainly supports the title of your article. However, the costs on society are many times the savings realized by these businesses and we should continue to resist this indirect subsidy and fight to close off illegal immigration.

  • sarahmae

    I appreciate that this article highlights a very important, largely ignored issue in our country – human trafficking. It is estimated that up to 15,000 people become enslaved or are brought into our country as slaves each year.

    Your fundamental argument, that human trafficking exists because of illegal immigration, is incorrect. Humans have enslaved people throughout history, and even in the U.S., don’t need illegal immigrants to do that. Many stories have come out about natural-born citizens, as well as legal and illegal immigrants being enslaved. Today, human trafficking is incredibly lucrative and growing because of that – unlike drugs, women can be used over and over again, so are viewed as a commodity.

    Also, liberals, conservatives, libertarians, and Marxists alike prey on women who are victimized as sex slaves, or even as forced household labor. Forced prostitution exists because men in the U.S. crave women to prey upon and victimize. Many don’t really care whether you’re a citizen, legal, illegal, enslaved, whatever. So men created sexual slavery, not illegal immigrants.

    Second, related to the legislation itself – this legislation is not going to be of much help in reducing human trafficking. Human trafficking isn’t directly discussed in the law, and the only provision related to it would be “smuggling” (sec. 4). Sometimes smuggling is actually human trafficking, but this legislation doesn’t make that clear.

    This law also may actually hurt victims of human trafficking. Human trafficking victims may actually be illegal immigrants, though if they can prove they were trafficked (which they need the help of local law enforcement to prove), they may be able to get a special visa to get help here in the U.S. But police often do not understand human trafficking enough to be able to identify victims, and there’s no provision or funding for training of police officers to be able to effectively do this. In my estimation, victims will be further harmed because of this fact.

    Also, human trafficking rings can be like drug trafficking rings – powerful and dangerous. When law enforcement works to break up human trafficking rings, it takes a lot of background work and planning, sometimes years, not just arresting people on the street who they have “reasonable suspicion” are human traffickers or human trafficking kingpins. A terribly small number of these types of cases have been prosecuted and won in the U.S. A great deal of background work needs to be done to prosecute these people as they deserve.

    Lastly, immigrants are not the only victims or offenders in human trafficking, and while there may be smugglers involved, not much is known about who actually runs these rings. It’s likely that natural born citizens, legal immigrants, and illegal immigrants all participate in these rings. So arresting random people who may be illegal is not going to put a dent in the massive problem of human trafficking. There are better ways to address human trafficking (such as funding for the activities mentioned in the above paragraph) that would hit the problem harder.

    I do appreciate that this is being brought up, but I actually think this post does a disservice to the horrific and depraved problem of human trafficking. It’s overly simplistic and not based on any evidence of what will actually stop human trafficking. The legislation itself gives no indication that it is for this purpose, and this argument is merely a red herring and shouldn’t be used in this debate. To use it does the girls who are being raped and abused at this very moment a terrible disservice.

    Also, as a side note, at the federal level, the last human trafficking legislation (HR 7311/S 3061 in 2008) were passed unanimously by both the House and Senate. So your assertion that liberals don’t care about this issue (and that only Conservatives do) is undeniably false.

    • Achance

      they crave women to have sex with. Sex with a prostitute is victimization only in a very philosophical sense; most prostitutes like their life or at least like it better than actually working for a living or buying their own drugs. But, you’re right, some significant number of prostitutes in this Country are sex slaves and are either illegal or fraudulent immigrants or are legal but some patron is holding their Passport and is forcing her to do his bidding. Many are here fraudulently under “family re-unification, especially Orientals, and the guy who imported them knows the fraud and she has a simple choice; work for him or be deported. The typical customer in a brothel or at a hotel bar isn’t going to ask for her green card or make her fill out an I-9, and why should he?

      And, no, liberal politicians don’t care about this issue in the way you’re using the word care. It’s easy to pass legislation that you know is meaningless in places where people vote for people like liberal Democrats. Democrats get money from the immigration lawyers, from the “pro-immigrant” non-profits, from the unions that want to confiscate dues from illegals.

      • sarahmae

        Hey Achance – my reply is below (Which is it – they vote for leg that helps victims or they don’t). Somehow I put it in the wrong place!

  • sarahmae

    When men force women to have sex with them, they crave to prey upon them and victimize them. It takes a special kind of man to want to have sex with a woman who clearly doesn’t want to have sex with him. In that case, it’s not just the sex they want, but they want to have sex with someone who doesn’t want it. And considering the rate of rape in this country, I think it’s safe to say that there are men whose sexual craving goes beyond “sex” and who desire to prey upon and victimize women.

    It’s interesting that this post claims that this law will protect victims of human trafficking, and your response seems to affirm that you think this is better to protect victims than actual laws that protect victims. You are claiming that the most significant law passed in this country that provides funding, services, and protection to victim is meaningless (the TVPA). Are you saying that the Conservatives who voted for this “meaningless” bill were doing so because they actually cared for the victims (not just for voters), but the liberals voted for this “meaningless” bill were doing so because of the the human trafficking advocates and immigrant laywers? They have no money or power! Immigration lawyers that help illegal immigrants have no money – they don’t get PAID. Your argument is completely illogical.

    In terms of the types of visas people are under, it could be any. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

    Lastly, this post claims that liberals don’t like legislation to stop human trafficking because they can get more bodies at the voter box, yet you claim they like to vote for this type of legislation because of all the powerful pro bono immigration lawyers and non-profit employed human trafficking victims advocates. Which one is it? They either vote for legislation that helps victims or they don’t.

    You should check out info by the Conservative human trafficking expert, Donna Hughes. It’s great that you have an understanding of this issue, but you seem to only care about it insofar as it helps your demonizing of liberals. If you actually care about the men, women, and children who are slaves, you should learn about them and stop using them to bash liberals over the head.

    • Achance

      One day either people like me or people like you are going to run this Country. If it is people like me, we’re not going to have much truck with people like you.
