The Open-Borders Lobby's Attempts to Silence Its Critics

Free Speech Is Great, But . . .
The open-borders lobby's attempts to silence its critics.
By Mark Krikorian
Across the West we see efforts to restrict free expression of political ideas related to immigration. We’re familiar with what’s been happening in Europe: not only the Muhammad-cartoon riots in Denmark, but more recently a court in Holland applying Saudi blasphemy rules to a local politician. There was also a U.N. resolution passed in December prohibiting defamation of Islam with the goal of making such defamation a crime under international law.

No Speech for You! [Mark Krikorian]
Carol Iannone (who blogs over at Phi Beta Cons) shared with me a good point about my piece on the homepage about the open borders crowd's jihad against free speech. While it's implicit in the piece, I didn't explicitly point out that what the attacks by the SPLC, La Raza, MALDEF, et al. demonstrate is that there is no skepticism regarding mass immigration that they don't consider "intolerant" or "hateful" or whatever the epithet du jour is. As Carol puts it, "Only complete and total ecstasy at continuing mass immigration is acceptable."
It's not just that they disagree with the immigration hawks' policy preferences, but rather that they consider any deviation from the open-borders position to be immoral by definition. This echoes a point I've made before, that open borders are the immutable value of the Left; they will sacrifice any other interest or constituency rather than support tighter immigration laws, including the interests of blue-collar workers, blacks, the environment, free speech, population control, anything.
