Thomas Sowell has\u00a0an interesting column<\/a>\u00a0that contains this line:<\/p>\n
\u201cImmigration laws are the only laws that are discussed in terms of how to help people who break them.\u201d<\/p>\n
He\u2019s got a point.\u00a0 If we applied Democrat\u2019s immigration logic to other laws in a\u00a0reductio ad absurdum<\/em>\u00a0analysis . . . .<\/p>\n
There are 750,000\u00a0registered sex offenders<\/a>\u00a0in the United States, of which 400,000\u00a0are child molesters<\/a>.\u00a0 Applying the same criminal justice probabilities to child molesters as we do to other rape, we can assume there are\u00a010 non-convicted offenders<\/a>\u00a0for every offender who was convicted. \u00a0Therefore:<\/p>\n
There are 4 million child molesters in the United States, living in the shadows, unable to freely pursue their dreams.\u00a0 They live in constant fear, looking over their shoulders for government agents.\u00a0 They are forced to live in an underground, cash-based, off-the-books culture.\u00a0 These are hard-working, productive members of society with families.\u00a0 They pay sales taxes.\u00a0 They would vote Democrat if they weren\u2019t convicted felons.\u00a0 Society must legalize their status, bring them out of the shadows, brush away the obstacles and make them full members of society. Do it now, for the children.<\/p>\n
Okay, that\u2019s idiotic.\u00a0 And so is this latest round of immigration amnesty.\u00a0 House Republicans selling their souls for Chamber of Commerce donations are killing their own party while they destroy the future of the nation.<\/p>\n
