Christopher Farrell, director of investigations and research for Judicial Watch gave a presentation in Los Altos and to the Mt. View City Council in preparation to assess Mt. View's Day Labor Center (TDN, April 16). "Judicial Watch has worked to shut down day labor centers elsewhere, and fights against cities and other entities 'that deliberately act to undermine immigration law'."
Farrell's stated "that Day Worker Centers encourage a 'soft racism' that allows Americans to get cheap labor." Soft racism has now been added to our lexicon of another "complex interplay of individual attitudes, social values and other institutional practices." I figured that our politicians and their enforcement entities, our employers and our labor unions, who take dues from nearly anyone, have been "soft" on enforcing immigration laws to lay the groundwork for another Amnesty Program and to add cheap labor while padding their voting pool with the poor to swell the Democrats' political influence.
Instead, soft racism has encouraged institutional racism by our politicians, religious leaders and liberal constituencies by their failure to enforce immigration laws. We have official "Sanctuary Cities" like Chicago and San Francisco and "de facto" sanctuary cities like Redwood City (and San Mateo County); we have churches that harbored those that are under deportation orders; we have President Obama's aunt who is on public assistance in Boston, and who violated two deportation orders and now has asked for a 10 month extension to seek asylum when she couldn't get her way to achieve residency status.
Universal human rights may be ascribed if we truly believe that all men are created equal in our social contract. It doesn't necessarily follow that humankind is nomadic and we can live wherever we want due to variety of complexities that lead to our sovereign nation-state concept. That concept should provide a safe haven for its inhabitant and should not be subject to any racism once admitted through a legal process.
Our local politicians endorse and enhance soft racism by failing to enforce our immigration laws that encourage illegal immigration that provide local cheap labor; by that practice and omission our politicians are racist and continues to encourage institutional racism.
