Our Newest Op Ed...
American Alien Aberration
- By Chuck Busch
If the mass demonstrations over immigration policy that have occurred in recent weeks seem strangely out of place, it's because they are. To be more precise, they are an aberration of the American experience. Whereas, it has always been the hallmark of liberty to allow for peaceful protests, these displays are very different in that the participants for the most part were non-citizens. This fact would explain also the abnormal size of the crowds compared to other demonstrations of the past and the wide spread occurrence in many cities across the country.
What America witnessed is typically what third world totalitarian or corrupt regimes experience when they deny their populations any direct input in determining their government. Conducting mass demonstrations in the streets is the only opportunity for oppressed peoples to try to influence their leaders. The illegal aliens living in the United States though they are afforded basic human rights, likewise have no representation in our legislature and therefore no say in government policy. Resorting to gigantic rallies to express their views is a completely natural trait and consistent with their native political experience. Considering that there are an astounding 12 to 20 million foreigners scattered throughout various major cities available for this type of activism, the size of the crowds is not the least bit surprising. .............
