Ann Coulter: Right on Illegal Immigration Too
by Michael J. Gaynor

When Ann Coulter keeps the focus on a political issue about which she is upset, that Ann will win her case is a safe bet.

"1 Down, 11,999,999 to Go" is Ann at her best, taking on the illegal immigration supporters with zest.

Ann:

"Mickey Kaus has raised the intriguing possibility that, since Bush's amnesty plan went down to humiliating defeat once Americans got wind of what the elites had planned for us, the Bush administration might respond by intentionally targeting highly sympathetic illegal aliens for deportation 'in as clumsy, heartless and lawsuit-inspiring a fashion as possible, in order to create the maximum number of negative headlines.'

"Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff described anti-amnesty Americans as being satisfied with nothing less than 'the death penalty' for illegal aliens and recently warned of 'some unhappy consequences' unless illegal aliens were granted amnesty. Yes, that Michael Chertoff -- the guy in charge of keeping us safe from foreign invasions.

"So it was curious when we were treated this week to a weeping Mexican woman on TV, claiming the U.S. government was tearing her from her infant son and saying she knew the American people would be outraged if she were deported. (I note that her message might have been more effective in English.)"

Ann's opinion on the weeper: "Arellano can go, and take her kid with her."

For years, the trick has been to have a child born in the United States and then use that child to jump in front of those seeking to become legal immigrants.

Don't waste time calling me racist. My wife was born in Guatemala, became a legal United States resident, and ultimately a United States citizen.

The problem is not Hispanics.

The question is not whether Hispanics should be allowed to move to the United States.

The question is whether to accept only those who abide by our laws or also those who don't.

Ann explains that the Democrats prefer the ones who don't.

Ann:

"The Democratic Party is in the fight of its life against a conservative demographic trend. Its only hope is to gerrymander America to make the poorest half of Mexico a state. Only a massive influx of criminals, wards of the state and rioters can save them.

"This is why Democrats are obsessed with giving two groups the right to vote: illegal aliens and felons. With Arellano, they get two for the price of one. To liberals, building a wall across the Mexican border is a violation of the Voting Rights Act.

"Democrats are counting on illegal immigrants to be the future of their party, their border guards for the new socialist state. At least liberals have a clear mission and know what they're fighting for. Their plan is to destroy America."

Lest people fail to appreciate that law-abiding Americans have good reason to be concerned about the failure to protect America's borders, Ann explained in her inimitable way:

"Admittedly, I'd just as soon have Homeland Security focusing on illegal immigrants like the one who shot four promising college kids execution style in Newark, killing three of them, possibly after sexually molesting two of them. Heck, I wouldn't have minded if they had deported Jose Carranza even before his girlfriend accused him of raping her 5-year-old daughter.

"Or Ruben Hernandez-Juarez, an illegal alien charged with sexually molesting a 6-year-old boy in Martin County, Fla.

"Or Alejandro Bautista, an illegal alien in Cook County, Ill., who was convicted for sexually molesting two teenaged boys.
