The Journal plays the race card

Tuesday’s Wall Street Journal headed up its "Review & Outlook” column with an editorial titled Republican Overregulation [no longer on web]. In their latest trip around the track aboard the paper’s pro-massive-immigration hobbyhorse, the Journal editors offered up this statement:

Republicans claim they oppose only illegal immigration but the truth is that many have grown hostile to all immigration.

Now although I don’t pretend to speak for all Republicans (or even "many” of them), and although the only pets around my house are cats, I can still spot a dogwhistle when I see one.

While the editors didn’t continue, the tone of the piece leaves little doubt that "...hostile to all immigrants so shut up, you bunch of ra-a-a-a-cists!” was their intent here.

And (again) although I don’t pretend to speak for all Republicans (or even "many” of them), and although I remain without the editors’ insights concerning "the truth,” I can say that, at least as far as I and the Republicans who I know are concerned, the Journal is full of it.

And while at times I may seem weary of immigration altogether, that has a lot  to do with our political establishment’s (and its media enablers’) total lack of interest in doing anything to actually address the problems produced by the illegals and their presence in my country.

And isn’t it interesting... that when they don’t get what they want, the Gentry "Conservatives” sound so very much like the Gentry Liberals.
