The Barbershop: Dennis Byrne, Proprietor
Have you noticed all the black and brown families dying to enter systemically racist America?
Hundreds of thousands trying to sneak onto the plantation so they can be subjected to white privilege.
If the United States is so racist–systemically so at its core–what’s with the mass migration of minorities lining up, wading across the Rio Grande, hiding in the brush and dying on the way to come here?
The Biden/Harris doublet insists the border is closed, that we don’t need to worry about the spread of covid by illegal immigrants and that everything is well in hand.
Except that the widely available evidence proves that the “No Malarky” president is full of malarky and that black and brown people especially want to enter, live and prosper in a land in which they and their children supposed will be crushed by oppressive white racism.
Are they stupid? Are they insane? What would drive them through the most dangerous Panamanian jungle, risking their own lives and those of their children? What would prompt them to pay thousands of dollars to hardened, murderous criminals to guide them in? Why would they drag their toddlers with them? Why would pregnant and nursing women do it?
If the legacy media would bother to ask them, they’d find that one word explains it: Freedom. Or liberty. Or opportunity.
The illegal immigrants have put to the lie the woke credo that America is a land that oppresses people because of their race. We still are the country that so many people from so many places see as exceptional. A place of freedom.
