Dear Mr. Todd,

I need your help.

I’m desperately trying to understand why you, The Head Political Analyst at NBC News, could consistently confuse the term “anti-ILLEGAL immigration” with  the term “anti-IMMIGRATION.”

Sure, on the surface they may seem similar. After all it’s just that one word, that pesky “illegal”, that separates them. But the two terms describe very different points of view.

It’s pretty simple.

“Anti-ILLEGAL immigration” describes any of the majority of Americans who are fed up with the Federal Immigration Laws being blatantly flouted by unscrupulous businesses, and concurrently ignored by our Government.

“Anti-IMMIGRANT” describes people who, quite simply, don’t like immigrants for some reason.

One does not automatically equal the other. Their meanings are very different. They are not the same thing.

And one would think that you, a highly educated man, a veteran of the punditry, and head political poobah at a vaunted network news outfit, of all people, would know the difference.

So, why do you keep making this mistake?

Is it just a simple slip-up? The result of verbal laziness? Not having the mental energy to include that all-important “ILLEGAL” when describing those hundreds of millions of Americans who simply want their Country’s laws enforced?

Or do you really think that the majority of Americans are, well, jerks?

Well, in case you really are confused, I’ll explain again.

The vast majority of Americans, represented by poll-after-national-poll, simply want our laws enforced fairly, and without prejudice.

These people are “anti ILLEGAL immigrantion”.

They take issue with the upwards of 20 million people who are currently breaking our laws by blatantly ignoring our country’s immigration laws. Laws that are extremely important to our National Security, and our economy.

These people also take major issue with our Government not doing anything about this obvious, massive violation, especially after the ’86 Amnesty, and then of course, 911.

They also have a big problem with the cheating, profit-at-any-cost businesses who brazenly employ these illegal aliens with impunity, creating job scarcity and depressing wages. And they wonder why their Government could be so inept, or corrupt, as to not see such a blatant money grab, and flouting of our laws and not do a darn thing about it.

And, perhaps just as importantly, they wonder why you, the Media, refuse to take them seriously. When you’re not outright ignoring them.

These millions, and millions of proud, and law abiding citizens are not, as you refer to them, “anti-IMMIGRANT”.

These people are not haters.

They love America. And they absolutely appreciate the contribution that legal, controlled immigration, gives her.

They are not racists or xenophobes.

These people are, simply, Americans. Millions, and millions of regular citizens, of all ages, races, creeds, and colors, who are beyond frustrated their Government, and you, their Media… because they can’t trust either to do their jobs anymore.

Their Government turns a blind eye while greedy businesses import waves of neo-indentured servants.

While you call them names like hicks, protectionists, or worse.

Anti-IMMIGRANT?

You should be ashamed.

Oh yes, there are certainly jerks on all ends of this. Just like there are on most other emotional, and politically charged issues.

For every “Skinhead” there’s at least one “La Raza” (The Race) member. And you know it.

But the funny thing is we’ve never heard you, or anyone in the Media, refer to the Pro-Amnesty crowd as “LaRaza”… or, come to think of it, even as the “pro amnesty crowd”.

No. You’ve anointed them “PRO-immigrant”. You know, instead of “pro-ILLEGAL immigrant”.

How nice.

Chuck. You’re a college graduate, right? And judging from your resume, you’ve been in the thick of the political fray for many years.

So how could you make such an egregious error?

Or… well, the only other explanation there is, and I hate to ask this… are you doing this on purpose?

Because if you are, for whatever reason, you don’t deserve to be the Political Director for a High School Newspaper, much less a respected television network.

So, why?

Please. I must know.

Sincerely,

Your Audience.

New York:

Congressman Anthony Weiner held a grand press conference this weekend, complete with charts and graphs, calling on Government to double funding for the Workforce Investment Act: a federal initiative that pays for summer jobs and “job training” for teenagers.

He cited the recent reports showing that there aren’t enough summer jobs for teenagers these days.

But here’s the rub. If you simply take a gander at any one of the small business in the New York Metro area that would *normally* employ these scrappy, acne-prone young workers: construction sites, restaurants, retail counters, etc… you’d quickly realize that they’re mostly staffed with, you guessed it, illegal immigrants.

I’d call it New York’s “dirty little secret” only it’s so out in the open, so brazen that it’s neither a “secret”, or anywhere near “little”.

The sad truth is New York is so endorsing of this insidious brand of quasi-slave labor that all the “usual” summer jobs that teenagers used to flock to between school years are no longer an option.

And of course, due to the socialist-lite society we find ourselves living in these days, instead of saying “um, excuse me… but you’re not technically supposed to be here… and you’re taking jobs that our citizens would like to do… would you mind waiting in line like everyone else?”… we instead call on the GOVERNMENT to pump BILLIONS OF DOLLARS into some hair-brained PROGRAM paid for with MY tax dollars.

Really?

Please, wake me up when this nightmare is over.

Linky: Sharia law in UK is ‘unavoidable’

It’s finally come to this, has it?

Millions of Muslims have literally flooded into the UK over the past century. And most, regardless of the circumstances, were grateful for it. They were grateful to be alive. To be free.

They also realized that Britain was graciously allowing them to keep, intact, an amazing amount of their own cultures; something many of their own countries were incapable of.

The UK didn’t force their version of Western “culture” down their collective throats.The UK didn’t ask them to stop being themselves.Unfortunately, many of those millions of Muslims (and other cultures as well) haven’t understood the nature of the bargain. And not only have they failed to willingly fold into the pre-existing culture of their newfound homeland, many of them have insisted on inflicting their way of life onto British society.

How rude.

You really expect a millenia-old culture, already deep, and well-established should bend to your ways of life?Immigration only works if both sets of the equation behave with respect. In this case, Britain has been more than respectful. They have bent over backwards (some would say too far) to welcome, and embrace Islamic culture. And now the back of Britain has broken. They have acquiesced beyond the point of no return.

There is no turning back.
Bring on the Sharia Law.
