What Malkin gets about Mexicans, and what she doesn’t get
Michelle Malkin details the disgusting behavior of the Mexican audience at the Miss Universe pageant this week in Mexico City in persistently booing and mocking Miss USA. It has long been known that a deep animus against the United States is central to the Mexican identity—known, that is, to anyone living in the world of reality, a category that excludes all liberals including the current president of the United States. But where does this leave Malkin, with her relentless campaign against illegal Third-World immigration, combined with her near-total silence on legal Third-World immigration? If, as Malkin writes, Mexicans’ deep resentment against America means that it’s a bad idea to let Mexican illegal immigrants settle in this country and receive its benefits, doesn’t exactly the same argument apply to Mexican legal immigrants as well?
It’s not that Malkin merely declines to address that obvious question, which is bad enough. It’s that the question literally never occurs to her. She cannot allow it to occur to her. If she did, the whole structure of the mainstream conservative ideology—which calls for the non-discriminatory inclusion in America of everyone in the world except for illegal aliens, criminals, and terrorists—would come crumbling down.
