The Texan of the Year is a...Criminal???

The Dallas Morning News has chosen their “Texan of the Year” for 2007.

Who is it?

The Illegal Immigrant



This piece is rather long, and mostly full of liberal propaganda. Surely, in all the great state of Texas, which has produced famous writers, athletes, philanthropists, presidents, etc., they could have come up with someone more noteworthy than the “Unknown Illegal”.

The last paragraph sums up the true purpose of their choice:

“We end 2007 no closer to compromise on the issue than when the year began. People waging a culture war – and that's what the struggle over illegal immigration is – don't give up easily. What you think of the illegal immigrant says a lot about what you think of America, and what vision of her you are willing to defend. How we deal with the stranger among us says not only who we Americans are today but determines who we will become tomorrow. “

There are so many things to address in this paragraph that I don’t have time for them all. So I’ll point out some of the more obvious ones.

Since when do we compromise on the law?

America is a land full of differing cultures. The fight against illegal aliens is not a culture war.

So if I’m against illegal aliens, what does that say about me? A better question would be, if you are for illegal aliens, what does that say about YOU?

An illegal is only a “stranger”? Give me a break.
