Among the illegal aliens
koiblogek, 08:18h
“Among the illegal aliens,” the campaign website says, “there are many who drink and drive recklessly and have killed or maimed innumerable innocent citizens in road crashes. Furthermore, the deadly drug trade flourishes in Oregon because illegal aliens are either directly involved themselves or can be forced by drug lords to aid them.”Political observers who have looked at the latest polling figures tell WW that Measure 88 is probably doomed to a landslide defeat.
“Long term, the strategy of making this against people of color is so stupid,” says Joe Baessler, lobbyist for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 75, a labor union backing the measure. “But in the short term, this is going to be an uphill battle.”
Backers of the measure have tried to steer the campaign away from immigration policy, which everyone seems to agree has failed.“It is incredibly offensive to me that they portray a whole group of people as criminals, as terrorists,” Causa Oregon’s Miller says. “I never get used to it.”Stone, director of the nursery association, says Kendoll is succeeding by frightening Oregonians—by warning, for example, that Mexican cartels will use driver’s cards for drug trafficking.
