Howard Dean: "equality for immigrants" is a "fundamental right"

I just ran across this October 25, 2005 missive from Democratic Party chairman Howard Dean entitled "Remembering Rosa Parks". It contains this:

"As a nation, we are all thankful for her courageous contributions. Today, in honor of Mrs. Parks' legacy, we must be committed to fighting the inequities that remain and championing fundamental rights for all whether it is voting rights, equality for immigrants or a commitment to end poverty in America."

In a career of idiotic statements, this is a subtle highlight. Citizens have various rights and responsibilities, and legal immigrants have fewer of both. And, illegal aliens have even fewer. What Dean is proposing is literally open borders: anyone who comes here by any means is made fully "equal" and given full rights.

No one with common sense takes anything Howard Dean says seriously. The only thing he's good at is putting his foot in his mouth.
