IBD Takes The Gloves off Regarding Illegal Immigration

For approximately five years now (longer in some quarters -- such as San Diego) there has been the saying that illegal immigration was the elephant in the room that no one wanted to acknowledge.

During the last Presidential campaign, nary a word was said by either major candidate regarding the ubiquitous, onerous, and devastating problem of illegal immigration currently faced by the United States.

Of course, the major media have cooperated in this "elephant in the room" approach by: ignoring the problem altogether (what problem?); whitewashing the problem (it really benefits us all!); highlighting the sufferings of illegals (they die crossing the border and they are treated unkindly in the US); trumpeting the successes of some illegals (while ignoring the abysmal failure of many others who end up either in prison or on welfare); and never -- NEVER -- calling these people what they really are: criminals, lawbreakers, illegal aliens, or illegal immigrants (oh, they are "undocumented migrants," don't you know!).

Well, IBD has recently proven that it is not going to play this kind of game, highlighting the problem of illegal immigration and calling it what it is -- illegal, a problem, and a threat.

Moreover, the IBD in a recent piece has said something even more unthinkable: Mexico is not only NOT trying to STOP the torrent of illegal immigration -- it is (most treacherously and insidiously) ENCOURAGING it!

In effect, IBD blows the whistle on Mexico -- while most in Congress (and, certainly, Waldo

in the White House at the Crawford Ranch

somewhere out there on his mountain bike) choose to continue to "whistle past the graveyard" on this issue which threatens our country's very existence under its current form of Government and culture.
