Cleveland Tea Party often links to reports concerning
illegal immigration issues. Failure to enforce border security and immigration
laws have a profound impact on so many fronts, but Cleveland Tea Party points
to the enormous costs, whether of welfare, healthcare and problems that
accompany illegal drugs, all of which come under one of the three Tea Party
platform plans, i.e., fiscal responsibility.
Cleveland Tea Party also regularly links to reports on media
malpractice and the 24/7 propaganda we see on television and in the mainstream
media. Today, Amalric de
Droevig addresses both topics in an article at American Thinker
titled “What a child's death on the border says about our country”. De Droevig
begins his essay:
The mainstream media's treatment of
a young girl's death while in the custody of the Border Patrol is a case study
in how the mainstream media control the national narrative and manipulate
public opinion to advance their leftist agenda.
The purpose of flooding the
internet and the airwaves with propaganda about the death and life of Jakelin
Maquin isn't to edify or inform the public; it is to make Americans feel bad
about enforcing any immigration laws at all. The real crime here
isn't any wrongdoing on the part of the Border Patrol. The real
crime, according to our Cultural Marxist overlords, is that the Border Patrol
exists in the first place.
He further elaborates on the media’s dishonesty and moves on
to the grim consequences of opposing border control and law enforcement:
Defending our borders is arguably
the most essential duty of government. Moreover, the enforcement of
every single law brings with it certain minor, highly attenuated risks to human
life. If the mere detention of criminals is considered too harsh a
measure for our nation to stomach any longer, there is no hope for the rule of
law or for the Republic's continued survival. If our government is
permanently unwilling or somehow unable to defend our borders, we should not
shut the government down temporarily, as Trump is threatening. We should
shut it down permanently.
