The Framing of Immigration
Posted By Ardellis on June 4, 2006
If you’re interested in the current brouhaha over immigration into the US, or in the use of language in a political context, this article is a must-read. (It’s about framing, which may be an unfamiliar concept to some of you, so here’s the primer.)
Even if we could “protect†ourselves by sealing the border and preventing businesses from hiring undocumented immigrants by imposing hefty fines or prison sentences for violations, progressives should not be satisfied. This still leaves those yearning to flee their own countries in search of a better life in deplorable situations. The problem is not dealt with by making the United States a gated community.
