Matt Stoller doesn't want you to see this

Earlier today I posted the following comment on the thread "Immigrants Stand Up Against Right-wing Racism" by Matt Stoller. It was deleted either by Matt Stoller himself or by one of the other administrators there.

There's nothing in the comment that would seem to violate their rules. And, of course, whenever someone does something like this it's a virtual admission that they have no real argument. While you should double-check everything you read, in the case of MyDD I'd suggest a quadruple-check.

Here's the comment:

Of course, there are millions of illegal aliens who are not similar.

And, should this site really be supporting those who want to enter this country illegally?

As long as there are illegal aliens, those illegal aliens will be much more likely to suffer not just worker abuse but workplace deaths.

There are only two solutions to that: make anyone who comes here a citizen, or enforce our immigration laws.

The same goes for the border deaths. It's not those who want to enforce our immigration laws that are responsible on our side for those deaths, it's those who oppose our immigration laws. Millions of people know that they can come here and live as illegal aliens, and they'll receive protection from "liberals" and corrupt businesses. That encourages them to come, and some die trying.

If our immigration laws were enforced, fewer would try to come, and there would be fewer border deaths, fewer cases of worker abuse, and fewer cases of workplace deaths or injuries.

Please, think this whole subject through.
