... now, they're just immigrants ... and maybe the story will add, at some point, that they're not in the country legally, or that they don't have permission to be in the country. You are absolutely right. Controlling the language, controlling the terms used in the discussion frame the discussion and marginalizes anyone who holds a different viewpoint or tries to use a different term. And it is deliberate.

LOL.

Regrettably, no. :)

Back it up? Read the quotes from any newspaper article that quotes a suddenly enlightened evangelical who now thinks we need blanket amnesty for illegal immigrants. Over the past 10 years at least. There is more than ample evidence of what I just said, for heaven's sake!

1. Because they're being used to further the Left's propagandist narrative, which is false. 2. Because they're presuming to judge Christians who don't support blanket amnesty for illegal immigrants, and fueling the Left's propagandist narrative against them. 3. Because they're encouraging and aiding and abetting people to break the law, a law which doesn't violate God's laws. That's just for starters.

If I were a student who had to write such an assignment, I would begin the essay with the words "I believe in the U.S. Constitution and ... and enumerate the bill of rights, including the right to free speech and freedom of expression, etc. The professor would learn that I believed he ought to be fired for his anti-Christian bigotry and otherwise violating those rights.

Or you could be a divorced parent who works full time and can't afford a private school.

In my opinion, this was deliberate, not accidental. This is the outcome the people who hate America wanted.

And yet they are always eagerly looking for homegrown right-wing terrorists, such as born-again Christians who believe the Bible, while in fact there are plenty of homegrown left-wing terrorists around instead. It is SO BIZARRE.

The latest "sky is falling" meme to be debunked is that we're running out of oil.
