Brett Samuels of The Hill applauds illegal immigrants'anti-Trump criminality, casts law and order as negatives
Illegal immigrants' disdain for our nation's right to sovereignty marks them as undesirables, in a land whose legal residents prize democratic order.
Mechanisms for changing laws exist in the Constitutional process. Selective observation of laws that We the People pass, through our elected representatives, is not among them.
That sort of basic knowledge was once routinely dispensed in middle-school civics classrooms. It today seems called for in journalism academies.
"Immigrants on edge over prospect of ICE raids" was the title of a 7/20 Brett Samuels article in The Hill. It was emblematic of the Trump-Era mainstream media that instinctively stands with criminals and against our president, laws, and the men and women who safeguard the American people.
The piece was not properly labeled as analysis or commentary, but presented as a straight news account. The prejudice of its author was nonetheless manifest.
"Immigrant communities across the country are on edge after mass deportation operations promised by President Trump failed to materialize in recent days," was how Samuels opened his article.
Criminals should fear law enforcement. When they are among us, they should creep in the shadows and cast worried eyes over their shoulders.
And they should never be comfortable. Justice is on the march.
"Advocacy organizations are urging those who might be targeted by ICE to remain vigilant, cautioning that the larger raids could take place in the coming days, weeks, or months," Samuels wrote.
Why is an American reporter working against law enforcement interests, and helping broadcast evasion advisories to criminals? That's an obvious question. Sadly, the obvious answer is that abetting criminality is fancied moral, in the contemporary press box.
"'I think this threat is still out there, and there's no trust in this administration," Sergio Gonzales, billed as deputy director of the Immigration Hub, told Samuels. Note that Gonzales painted the president of the United States as a villain; Samuels did not object.
In fact, Samuels quoted five critics of the president, but not even one supporter. (A few quotes from previous presidential remarks were cited.)
Samuels noted scofflaws were "braced" for the "threat" of immigration enforcement actions, as if those were not wholly proper but adverse weather phenomena against whose looming devastations barricades must be thrown up.
Of course, illegals are thought sympathetic only by others contemptuous of law and order. Samuels and his fellow inky quislings lurk in that ignoble category.
In this matter of right vs. wrong, many in the Fourth Estate choose to ride with the bad guys.
