The bloody consequences of open borders
Michelle Malkin

... Last week, a veteran indie-film actress was found dead:

The body of a beautiful, talented actress was hanging from a shower rod in the bathtub of a Greenwich Village apartment by her horrified husband, who cried out, "Why? Why?" cops and witnesses said.

Adrienne Shelly, 40, who was also a director and screenwriter, apparently killed herself, cops said, but added they're examining some mysterious aspects of the case.

Shelly's husband is Andy Ostroy, a liberal blogger whom I've linked and had cordial communications with in the past, despite heated political differences. Ostroy insisted passionately that his wife would never commit suicide and leave him and their three-year-old daughter behind. After intensive questioning by police, Ostroy refused to accept the suicide theory and pushed the NYPD to find the truth. On Election Day, the New York Post reported the bombshell discovery:

In a stunning turnaround, a construction worker yesterday confessed to killing indie actress Adrienne Shelly, whose death in a Greenwich Village apartment last week was first thought to be suicide, cops said.

"I was having a bad day," illegal immigrant Diego Pillco, 19, allegedly told cops. "I didn't mean to kill her. But I did kill her." ...

This "good kid" was an illegal alien day laborer whose employer knew he was illegal. He lived and worked in an illegal alien sanctuary city whose open-border policies were crafted by Democrat Mayor Ed Koch and embraced by GOP successors Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg. He lived and worked under a Bush administration whose employer sanctions enforcement record is abysmal.

Yup, Pillco was just a hard-working immigrant "doing a job Americans wouldn't do"--as new best friends President Bush and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would put it. Details: ...

Make an old dog feel appreciated?

Ah, the old, tried-and-true "one of those ______ murdered someone, therefore laws keeping those ________ under control are really about stopping MURDER!" argument. Remember when such arguments were used to support segregation? Yeah, one of those negroes murdered someone -- we have to keep negros separated, or they'll be murdering all of our white women!

I'd like to point out that "legal" americans murder women all the time. People who have latched onto this story as having anything to do with immigration are buying into a comfortable fallacy. Of course, the whole "they're bad because they're ILLEGAL" argument is a fallacy in itself, so it's not surprising that other fallacies are attractive to those who buy into the number one fallacy.

Immigration laws are segrigation all over again. It's about taking an lower economic class, and restricting their access to opportunity, in order to maintain opportunity for the higher economic class. Not surprisingly, the same people who supported segregation tend to support strong immigration restrictions.
