Victor Davis Hansen on Immigration "Reform"

...comprehensive immigration reform is the most illiberal legislation in a generation: it favors Latin American nationals over others entirely on the basis that they have already broken federal immigration laws, are residing here illegally, and share the same ethnic background as their leaders in the Democratic Party.

Like hospitals, schools, and colleges which receive philanthropic donations, rewarding illegal behavior encourages more of the same.

How could it possibly be otherwise?

Just as rewarding unwed parenthood produces an unending flood of illegitimate babies who grow up to be disfunctional adults, rewarding those who are here precisely because they have no respect for our laws will produce generations of lawbreakers.

Apparently the Democrats, and all too many of the Republicans as well, want those results. Why else work to achieve them?
