"This governor was not defeated by anything other than the hate in this country toward immigrants right now," said Rep. Jose Serrano, a Bronx Democrat.
That remark was in response to Eliot Spitzer’s decision to give up on his plan of giving driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants in New York. The reason it’s important is that it is a beautiful illustration of the typical lying, propaganda-spreading tactics of left-wing democrats. Just within this one little sentence are three very important untruths:
- The issue has to do not with immigrants but with ILLEGAL immigrants, as Serrano knows.
- People in this country do not “hate” immigrants; they want people who come here to do so legally and play by the same rules as the rest of us. What’s unfair about that?
- It was not the people of this country who defeated the issue it was the people of New York, and good for them. Serrano doesn’t want to offend his own constituents by telling them how hateful they are, thus he implies that it was everyone else who decided this issue.
Serrano is just one more example of the wascally, weaselly ways of the Left.
