The problem is "behavior"
According to Jennifer & Peter Wipf of the About.com site, "Your Guide to Immigration Issues," "Not All Conservatives Hate Immigrants, But Boy Do They Hate 'Handouts'. "This headlined their response to an article by Amy Hess on About.com’s "Your Guide to Conservative Politics: U.S." site.
Amy tries to shore up her compassionate Conservative credentials by providing a point by point or her answer to those in this nation illegally. While she reiterates the points generally posited by the supporters of President Bush's position, she ends with this, "Those folks waving Mexican and Colombian flags obviously have pride in their home countries - and yet don't want to live there. I wonder if they put all their hard work and passion into fixing their home governments, in cleaning up their own countries, what they could accomplish."
But what it found interesting in the combination of these two items is Jennifer and Peter's assumption that most "Conservatives hate immigrants." That is implicit in the statement titling their April 25th posting. This is typical of the left, take an issue that is centered on behavior and assign it to a group of people.
Jennifer and Peter, conservatives don't hate immigrants, as you would like to portray them. Conservatives hate the actions of illegal aliens who've entered the USA by illicit means.
Conservatives hate the expectations of those same lawbreakers that they deserve to have their actions overlooked and to be accepted as though they followed the law regulating immigration. No, they expect this nation to no just overlook their actions; they expect us to reward them by putting them to the head of the line, in front of those who've gone through the legal process.
That's what conservatives have a problem with Pete and Jen. It's about actions and attitudes. At least you got one part right, the part about handouts.
Handouts of money, handouts of unearned opportunity, handouts of disregarded bad behavior, but then, those are the very things on which the liberal agenda is based.
