Apologists for illegal immigration are changing the language to create sympathy for lawbreakers and tarnish opponents of open borders. Just as George Orwell noted in his book 1984<\/i>, whoever controls the words shapes people\u2019s thoughts.<\/p>\n
In an everyday example of language manipulation, the mainstream media has ditched the accurate, legal phrase \u201cillegal aliens\u201d and replaced it with \u201cundocumented immigrant,\u201d which is becoming part of the general lexicon. Also, the Library of Congress is trying to change the subject headings \u201caliens\u201d and \u201cillegal aliens,\u201d replacing them with the nebulous and inaccurate terms \u201cnoncitizens\u201d and \u201cunauthorized immigration.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amnesty apologists are now repeating the phrase that they are on the \u201cright side of history.\u201d That\u2019s a pretty big assumption, since no one knows how things will play out. If illegal immigration causes an economic apocalypse, future historians could well determine that the open borders fanatics acted in a delusional fashion that ignored facts and warnings.<\/p>\n
Another tried and true tactic \u2013 branding anyone opposed to coddling illegal aliens as a racist \u2013 rings hollow because it addresses none of the real issues surrounding the phenomenon. \u00a0 Angry open borders fanatics, unafraid to openly protest when they fail to get their way, are focusing their wrath at the Governor of Massachusetts, who refuses to dispense driver\u2019s licenses to illegal aliens.<\/p>\n
