Phony Anti-Immigrant Distraction Will Come Back to Haunt GOP
MSNBC interviewed Oklahoma State Representative Randy Terrill on Nov. 27th, the Republican behind that state’s strict new anti-immigrant laws. The legislation denies jobs, unemployment compensation and other state services to undocumented workers, and has resulted in a marked downturn in local business profits as the immigrants move elsewhere — one store alone reported losses of $75,000 a week due to Terrill’s terrible bill that’s driven immigrant workers out of Oklahoma. So what’s Randy’s answer to all the grief he’s created for small businesses in OK? More and tougher anti-immigrant laws, including tossing people out who were born in this country!
Following the CNN/You Tube Republican debate Nov. 28th, the good puppies working for Time Warner Inc. as ‘analysts’ — blithely ignoring the extreme improbability that no questions were asked by the public about Iran or health care, and few about the faltering economy — dutifully peddled the GOP’s phony illegal immigrant issue as the ‘hot’ topic of the coming election. Prediction: Look for this Rovian distraction to explode in the face of the Republican Party like a trick cigar as more of these anti-immigrant laws are passed — that’s the blowback that the GOP never counted on when they unleashed this plague of thinly-disguised racism: all of the money illegal immigrants pump into local economies and, just wait, next the already-strapped border states will be complaining about the loss of tax revenues from the departing immigrants. As the saying goes: watch out what you wish for, you just might get it — and before the next election.
Oh, and more-fool Randy? He’ll soon be seeking honest employment as angry voters turn him out of his soft government job. So far, he only seems qualified to be a ditch digger, if such jobs exist anymore — he’s certainly kept digging at this fetid issue long after a sane person would have stopped.
