Repost: Barbara Jordan quotes on immigration – In case you don’t see them at the SPLC!
Below are just two of many quotes on immigration from Barbara Jordan. We repost them here incase you don’t see them from the hate-mongers at the SPLC.
Prevent Illegal Immigration
“To make sense about the national interest in immigration, it is necessary to make distinctions between those who obey the law, and those who violate it. Therefore, we disagree, also, with those who label our efforts to control illegal immigration as somehow inherently anti-immigrant. Unlawful immigration is unacceptable.”– February 24, 1995
“Illegal aliens have no right to be in this country. They are not part of our social community. There is no intention that they integrate. As human beings, they have certain rights – we certainly should not turn them away in a medical emergency. As a nation, it is in our interest to provide a limited range of other services- immunizations and treatment of communicable diseases certainly fall into that category. But, if illegal aliens require other aid, it should rightly be provided in their own countries.” – August 9, 199
No to Amnesty
“If people unauthorized to enter believe that they can remain indefinitely once having reached the interior of the nation, they may be more likely to come.” – August 3, 1994
“There are people who argue that some illegal aliens contribute to our community because they may work, pay taxes, send their children to our schools, and in all respects except one, obey the law. Let me be clear: that is not enough.”
