Why Don’t They Love America?

I haven’t blogged about the immigration protests because, well, because I didn’t feel like blogging about them. During a lunchtime conversation, Don Quixote and I decided we were in agreement: We believe the vitality of immigrants is good for the nation’s health, and we strongly disapprove of those who break the laws as they currently exist — and who get a free pass for doing so. I’m with the Captain, who objects to those who have
the temerity to demand that we allow them to live here without following our laws governing entry into the US as well as continue to provide government services to them. In the meantime, people who come here legally and wish to stay wind up having to go home and reapply for permanent residency. Joe Gandelman has a guest poster from Britain who cannot avoid leaving the US after coming here legally and showing nothing but loyalty to his new home.
As more information comes out from the demonstrations, though, I’m getting the urge to blog. What really disturbs me about the demonstrations, as I gain more information about them, is the intense hostility they express to the United States. In the “picture is worth a thousand words” category, Michelle Malkin has this image of flags hoisted by students in Southern California (see right top of this article).
