Center for International Policy (Funded by the
Ford Foundation) -- December 14, 2007
Losing
the War of Ideas, Again
In the war of ideas over immigration,
liberals are in disarray. Anti-immigration advocates have created
the ideological frameworks-security, rule of law, nationalism-that
now frame the raging immigration debate. Meanwhile, immigration
advocates find that their own humanitarian, economic, and historical
arguments supporting liberal immigration flows have little resonance
in the public debate.
The Ford
Foundation helped create the terrible illegal immigration
mess. They started MALDEF
and the National
Council of La Raza. Now they are funding groups like the
Center
for International Policy and its Americas
Program that are fighting to keep the borders open. CIP is
joined
at the hip with radicals like Derechos
Humanos, and other Mexican Reconquistas. |
