Bloomberg's analysis of the illegal immigrant crisis seems in line with what I heard today from a very informed Marco Rubio. Marco's take was that he didn't like the Arizona law, but would certainly support if he were a citizen of that state due to the fact that it is nearing anarchy in some spots. When your citizens are getting blown away by members of drug cartels and the federal government does nothing, the state of Arizona is forced to act. Rubio further expanded that he did not like the law because he is wary of giving government more power. This, juxtaposed with Bush Jr's attitude during crisis, makes Rubio, well, awesome.
Most of what Bloomberg says seems in line with Rubio. But there is one seemingly innocuous statement that reveals a larger difference between the two. Notice Bloomberg's statement when disagreeing with the Arizona law:
"We love immigrants here."
All he had to do was include the adjective
legal in his statement. Instead his statements makes the assumption that if you do not support law-breaking in the form of illegal immigration, then you hate all immigration. It must be impossible to support or even love immigration while condemning illegal immigration. Mike, really, who's being real here?
Is Bloomberg on the Mark.....or Building The Latest Straw Man?
