More ignorance of, and contempt for, the Constitution, its case law, and the rule of law from the right.
Being undocumented has nothing to do with the myth of ‘political correctness,’ it’s an accurate term acknowledging the fact that one is not ‘illegal’ until such time as he has been found guilty in a court of law of entering the country absent authorization.
Those undocumented are entitled to a presumption of innocence and due process of law (Plyler v. Doe).
There are many who are undocumented who are entitled to refugee status pursuant to immigration law; those undocumented are allowed 30 days from entering the country to apply for refugee status, and are not ‘illegal’ pending the processing of that application.
Moreover, no one advocates for ‘amnesty’; comprehensive immigration reform legislation contains no provision for ‘amnesty,’ it meets due process requirements with regard to those undocumented, and subjects undocumented immigrants to punitive measures fitting with the crime they’ve committed.
The right’s unwarranted hostility toward those undocumented is yet another example of the ignorance, stupidity, fear, and bigotry common to far too many conservatives.
