GOP Leaders Discover Immigration Concerns Only When Convenient
Louisiana's Republican leaders, bless their hearts, are reportedly 'at odds' over recent federal immigration raids in New Orleans. The Hill presents this as complex political maneuvering while conveniently ignoring that for years, this very party has championed harsher immigration enforcement. It's a sudden burst of empathy, perhaps, for the local economy's labor needs, conveniently forgetting the
human cost they gladly championed elsewhere. One might wonder if their concern extends beyond the immediate economic disruption. Where was this nuanced debate when families were being separated at the border, a policy aggressively pushed by their own party? The silence, then, was deafening. Now, the concern isn't about human rights, but about who gets to decide *which* migrants are targeted, and
*when*, perfectly illustrating the flexible morality of bipartisan cruelty.
