How the Left Shuts Down the Immigration Debate

Enforcement officials are ‘outed’ as an act of intimidation

Winding its way through federal courts is a case that, although inconsequential on its face, is actually highly illustrative of the depths professional illegal-alien “rights” activists will go in their war against our sovereign borders.

The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), a 13,000-strong immigration attorneys lobby, along with the Ford-funded American Immigration Council and Ralph Nader’s Public Citizen, apparently have designs to defame the names of immigration judges they and other open-borders groups don’t like.

Acting in the name of “the public interest,” AILA and company seek to “out” judges who have had complaints filed against them — complaints likely filed by the three groups themselves as well as other partner organizations. To current and future immigration judges the message is clear: follow the nation’s immigration laws too closely and expect a campaign of intimidation and harassment.

The contemporary left has used similar tactics in their war against traditional America for some time. Those who have signed pro-traditional marriage petitions in Maryland, Washington and California have had their names and personal details published online, setting them up for abuse from fanatical groups. Immigration patriots are routinely attacked, especially by organizations like the multimillion-dollar Southern Poverty Law Center, which publishes photos and personal details of persons on its “Hate Watch” blog, libeling them online for life.

This is why violence is the only way to deal with the left.

They won't know what hit them when Trump becomes president.

The Left feels entitlement to be excused for their bad behaviors. They have used and abused information to forward their own agendas. They are proponents of illegal immigration and other fractions of society because they're drumming up votes. They figure if they champion causes they will garner more popularity. The problem is, their devious methods result in real collateral damage - both in violence and financial detriment to victims.

While I am an opponent of abuse within the legal channels, victims of their careless negligence might want to consider legal recourse against the Left. For example, the organization leaking personal information should be held legally (and financially) accountable for their misdeeds and bullish tactics. It would only take a couple of precedence-setting cases to get the word out; when you play with fire, you get burned.

I think if Trump asked for volunteers to help build his wall, (say, in return for 60 days of labor, you don't pay any taxes that year), we would have MILLIONS of volunteers.
The Left's BIGGEST problem is that the things they claim as "fact" or the current storyline they promote (unemployment rate is at 5%!!!), clashes with reality so abruptly, only the stupidest and blindly loyal lemmings actually think it's TRUE.
1) You can keep your doctor!
2) you'll save an average of $2500!
3) ISIS is the JV team and no big deal
4) I am a Christian
5) this is not a Christian nation anymore
6) muslims have made our nation great
7) there is no such thing as "American exceptionalism"
8) the border is more secure than its ever been
9) this will be the most transparent administration in history
10)we had no time to help the Ambassador in Benghazi (who was castrated and dragged around naked)
11) I knew nothing about "Fast and Furious"
12) I will no longer wiretap other world leaders
13) we do not wiretap leaders of Congress
14 Hillary was a great secretary of state ( but I can't list a single accomplishment with any meaning)
how much time do you have? I have DOZENS more.....
Keep cheering.

Imclain, you rock. This a wonderfully thorough, well done list of all the fallacies perpetrated on the public that proves the question contains more that enough merit to warrant an answer!
