William F. Buckley Jr. takes pro-amnesty hyperbole to a new level with his ludicrous claim that deportation of illegal aliens would be “as wrenching as the uprooting of the blacks from Africa 300 years ago.”

Yeah, except for the small fact that the Africans were cruelly snatched from their lawful homes in their native land, forced to march in shackles, auctioned off, and crammed into slave ships…and illegal aliens would be deported from their unlawful homes in the land whose laws they ignored, and politely returned to their native country in tax-subsidized buses and planes.

For God’s sake.

Buckley’s idiocy is another reason, as Heather Mac Donald argues, that East Coast Elites Should Shut Up About Immigration.
