The subject of immigration has never been about law.
Instead, the illegal immigration controversy is simply a starting point for hatred directed at a growing ethnic minority and their culture.
The Roy Blunt hiring controversy features political mudslinging over the fact that the Senate hopeful might have done a favor for a Latina housemaid years ago . . . Gasp!!!
The cleverly worded attack wants to capitalize on the divisive immigration debate. It's supposed to demonstrate hypocrisy on the part of Blunt given his boring border ads that don't make sense with such a small (but steadily growing) Latino population in Missouri and the fact that this State doesn't border any foreign nation.
Democrats are correct to exploit this issue but it just reminds us that they've been powerless and willing participants in the racial profiling and legislative backlash against Latinos in Missouri.
Bottom Line: The Missouri GOP will do their best to persecute Latinos with backward, big government tactics that mostly betray their so-called principles. Counting on Show-Me State Democrats to do nothing in response is also a safe bet.
On the bright side: I notice an increasing number of Latinos in Kansas City and see a community thriving amid so much hatred from elected leaders directed their way.

Missouri Dems Charges Blunt With Using Office to Help Immigrant Obtain Work Papers
This does not mean that I have to like Brownie Beaners now does it?
ReplyDeleteSo, Tony, I suppose this new revelation will make you endorse Blunt. He apparently did what you want all of us to do. Ignore the law and give jobs to illegals.
ReplyDeleteMissouris "Hated" of Latinos?
ReplyDeleteDid you mean "Hatred"?
Get spellcheck, numbnuts....
Not everything is about race....
I don't think Tony is a nice person. I wish he was better looking and stopped posting pictures of white girls. I wish he would start posting pictures of women his own age. I know that these women are unobtainable for tony. You hear me, stop worshipping at the alter of white women that are younger than you. They do not want to have anything to do with you. Post picture of attractive older minority women. I know, I know, you can't find fantasy pin ups with women over 3o. Newsflash Tony, you are over 30 or pretty close to it.
ReplyDeleteTony is just like every other lamestream media type, it's all about race and stereotyping, the same thing he accuses the right of. Too bad he's gonna win Tony, I for one will enjoy it. Stop stereotyping everyone that opposes your ridiculous agenda with the fringe of the right that makes you so damn mad you lose your mind and blog stupid comments, wait, that's your M.O., nevermind.
ReplyDeletewaiting for the day the Krzy Kris daddy get caught hiring illegals at his car dealership.
ReplyDeleteRepublican hate illegals, but love the work illegals do for them.
Hard to be a Senator when you commited a crime of hiring an illegal ....right krzy kris...
Blunt should withdraw from the Senate Race today.

Best thing you've written all year.
The Carnahan and Nixon teams are run by a bunch of morons.
Did I just hear on that video that Democrats are "attacking Blunt for helping a legal immigrant get her papers finalized"?
ReplyDeleteIf the immigrant was here legally and was just in the bureaucratic blackhole that is the immigration process, I'm missing the gotcha moment.
Just more bad advise given by young inexperienced advisors that could care less about Latinos.
I AM A RACIST---I BELIEVE THAT IMMIGRATION LAWS SHOULD BE ENFORCED. IF SOMEONE IS HERE ILLEGALLY---SEND THEIR ASS BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM---IF SOMEONE IS CAUGHT SNEAKING ACROSS THE BORDER,,SHOT FIRST ASK QUESTIONS LATER--BETTER A DEAD MEXICAN THAN A MEXICAN IN THE US ILLEGALLY
ReplyDeletethe gotcha moment was she was a maid in Blunt's house with no papers...
