The video speaks directly to the heart of issue on what the anti-immigrants think. Fear. They are afraid of people who are different. They are afraid of change.
And politician latch onto that fear and use it to get ahead. Well, maybe not just politicians as Lou Dobbs can attest to.
In their efforts to drive this issue, to make people afraid, politicians are trying to get ahead. Tom Tancredo, congressman from Colorado based his entire presidential run as a man who would stop both illegal, and legal immigration. He failed. As have all the other nominees who share the same opinion on immigration. The politics of fear only work so far, before they are discovered to be what they are, just politics of fear used by some who want to get ahead at the expense of a group of people who can’t defend itself.
I ask you now, don’t fall for the easy trap of those who say that the answer is deportation of everyone, don’t listen to those who say immigrants are worthless. No, look for a real answer. Immigration is not a simple issue that cannot be patched up just like that, but it requires a complex answer, a real one from real politicians who are willing to look past the hate and bashing. Use your voice and vote for those who can’t.
