Mormon liberals? Yes, they exist!

I found a Mormon liberal site called www.bycommonconsent.com. Most of the posters disavow nationalism and favor amnesty for illegal immigrants. I also found the accompanying cartoon there. Can you tell in how many ways it's grossly unfair propaganda?

I wrote this post on their site in response:

I don't think most posters here have considered the cold-hearted consquences of their good-hearted urge to help illegal aliens settle here.

Basically, you can't help illegal aliens without harming the bottom rungs of America's working class. It's lovely to talk about transcending national boundaries, but it's not a zero-sum game. Everything--and I mean everything--you do to help illegal aliens in this country harms us. Well, not nice middle-class, college-educated people. Our jobs are safe. Our neighborhoods are safe. MS-13 (and please don't be discussing immigration if you don't know what that is) isn't in our neighborhood. They're all in the neighborhoods whose people you speak of so patronizingly and call racist for resenting the fact that their $12/hr. jobs now pay $9--when they can get them.

And you're helping Mexico's corrupt ruling class stay in power. They're outsourced their social welfare system to the U.S.A. Our illegal immigration is their societal relief valve. That's good-hearted how?

Yes, scripture enjoins us to help the poor and the suffering. Doesn't that include America's own poor and suffering?

Perhaps you don't think their needs count as much as Mexican illegal immigrants' needs. But if you're gauging alms based on need, we should expel every Mexican here and replace them with folks from Niger, or the Congo, or the Darful. I can assure you the Darfurians would think the were in heaven if they had the lives of the average Mexican peasant.

If your basis is thinking we're obligated--well, houw about our obligation to the TWO MILLION Iraqi refugees who are on the run as a direct cause of our actions? We do owe them--big time, since we invaded their country.

And it's easy to be dismissive of mere nationality when you're a comfortable American middle-class citizen. Traveling in the third world changed my perspective. We take our legal structure for granted. But it's a heavenly gift we all benefit from, and anyone who disagrees with this should spend an hour in Mogadishu. That's all it would take.

Lastly, we're all flying blind. No one knows how many illgal aliens are here, or what they earn, or what they take in the way of social services. Just as no one knows how many Al Qaeda members have thrown on a poncho and climbed the fence with the other pollos.

The only way we'll be able to tell who's here--and then to make policy based on real knowledge instead of guesswork--is a universal national biometric ID, which has only become possible in the last few year. So please recommend this innovation to your local legislators. We can all only benefit from really knowing what's going on. And though only a small percentage of illegal aliens are felons or harboring multidrug-resistant TB, wouldn't it be nice to know who they are and how many are here?
