What is a Migrant Activist?

Here is a headline to consider:

Migrant activists manage few wins

So here are a couple of questions:

• What exactly is a “migrant activist”?
• What is a win for a migrant activist?

The article for the above headline reveals a great deal about these questions. Apparently, a migrant activist is someone who promotes breaking laws they see as unfair. They are considered heroes for this by the media and a small minority of voters. They cannot generate enough support to make any changes to the law, so they openly break them or advocate same.

Along this line of thinking, consider the following as new terms for some other law breaking industries:

• Coca Activist
• Identity Relief Activist
• Auto Appropriation Activist
• Self Investment Activist
• Almost Truth Activist
• Intimate Companionship Activist
• Population Reduction Activist

This is supposed to be a nation of laws, yet a “win” for “Migrant Activists” consists blocking the following legislation:

…adding new roadblocks to the U.S.-Mexico border fence and delaying the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, Democrats used their majority to block proposals to punish sanctuary cities, to add more funding to go after smuggling-observation posts on U.S. soil and to expand workplace enforcement. They also refused to withdraw funding from an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission lawsuit challenging the Salvation Army’s English-in-the-workplace policy.

But what could Democrats have been doing with their majority instead of blocking legislation designed to make the borders more secure, expand enforcement, and deter smugglers?

Democrats did not secure an expansion of temporary work visas for programs such as the H-2B seasonal foreign-worker category, and he said they failed to deliver any broader agreements to decide the status of illegal aliens or streamline current legal immigration.

If Congressional Democrats put the kind of energy into expanding the guest worker programs already in existence, instead of using their considerable power to perpetuate a dangerously porous border, there would be no need for “migrant activists”. These Democrats and the migrant activists are perpetuating the deaths in the desert. Rather than work hard to create a means by which seasonal workers can come through border checkpoints in air-conditioned buses, they advocate the need for people to enter the country, illegally, through the grueling, hot desert.
