It takes a bold man to equate deportation of illegal aliens to the return of runaway slaves to thier master. Bold, or stupid. But the Undercover Black Man has found such a man, and he isn’t pleased:
…I heard a sound bite on the radio this afternoon that made a couple of my orifices clench.
Juan Jose Gutierrez, of something called “Latino Movement USA,†said: “It seems to us that the mentality and behavior by law enforcement of the runaway slave is alive and well.â€
Oh no he di-in’t. He did not compare illegal immigration to black slavery… did he?
Then I saw a wire-service report where Señor Gutierrez popped up again. “A small group of protesters and activists condemned the deportation, comparing it to returning a slave to his masters,†according to Reuters.
“ ‘The message we take from the federal government is that there will be no mercy toward the modern-day slaves that are the undocumented workers,’ said Juan Jose Gutierrez, coordinator of Latino Movement USA.â€
Blink.
Yeah, no kidding blink. In the eyes of this leftist, there is no difference between the two. UBM pointed out a few minor details Gutierrez must have missed:
One, nobody is dragging Mexicans here against their will. Two, no U.S. immigration official has lashed the bare back of any Mexican with a whip, as used to happen to “runaway slaves†who got caught. Three, Mexican workers get paid; they send billions of dollars per year back home to Mexico.
I just don’t understand the strategy of the pro-illegal immigration crowd. First they march on May Day, where they made sure every middle aged American saw the Mexican flag on the evening news. Good plan there. That didn’t piss anyone off.
Now, the idea is to equate themselves a runaway slave. How outrageous is that? Who is going to hear that and say, “Oh yeah, that’s about right.”
