While we focus on the bestial practice of separating children from their mothers at the border, we fail to aude alteram partem.
Decent, well meaning liberals have fallen into the trap inadvertently set for them by Trump and Co.
Or, more likely, liberals like "Crying Chuck Schumer" have instinctively tried to show how compassionate, feeling, warm and fuzzy they are by focusing on the children.
But in the bars I hang in, you hear, "Hey, what do you think happens right here in New Hampshire, when a mother gets jailed for shop lifting? You do the crime; you do the time."
Of, course there is a difference in sympathies here and a misunderstanding of the "crime" of crossing the border undocumented.
What we really need now is an Al Franken in the Senate, someone who could ridicule Trump and Sessions effectively, as Pia Guerra has done.
But, no, all the Dems rushed to expel Franken because he was accused of sexual harassment, mugging for a photo he clearly knew was being taken, while placing his hand on the flak jacket of a reporter at breast level. Oh, for shame!
Democrats are still into shame, where Trump laughs at shame, and that is a kind of strength the Democrats cannot wrap their minds around.
Our problem with Central Americans from 3 desperately dysfunctional Central American countries (whose total population adds up to 21 million) is different from what the Europeans face.
The Europeans have absorbed a million refugees and some, but not most, of these are men who reject basic European values, like allowing women to walk outside without a male guardian, allowing women to vote, allowing anyone to dance, allowing anyone to imbibe alcohol. These are not the rapists Trumps sees in Hispanic gate crashers; these men are far more dangerous because they arrive seeking refuge and then, in a graft v host reaction, they reject the very nations which offered them refuge.
So they grope blonde German women in the public square in Cologne Christmas eve.
Groping any unaccompanied woman in the market in an Arabic country is fair play. Not so much in Germany, Sweden or Britain.
Our refugees are different. Much as Trump, Louie Gomhert and Kris Kobach want to depict them as MS-13 rapists, they are not.
For the most part, the Hispanic families cross our Southern border share certain characteristics: The family unit is strong. They work hard at low paying jobs Americans tend to eschew. Far more of the men are skilled carpenters than MS-13 types. Many real estate developers, construction company magnates say their Hispanic employees are the best workers they have, as a group, if you want to generalize.
Democrats should begin every discussion with the statement: Nobody is suggesting it would be a good thing for the United States to admit 130 million Chinese and 130 immigrants from India and 21 million from Central America tomorrow. We wouldn't be helping either them or us if we did. But what we are saying is with a population of 300 million, we can admit, and actually need to admit (given our falling birth rates), immigrants in a controlled way. Immigrants are not an infestation simply because they are not as blond as Ivanka. Think of the Spanish speaking folks you know. Do they look more like MS-13 or Lin Manuel?
