What really angers me about this Vento guy is this idea that the immigrants of a few generations ago were all noble, romantic, hardworking and so on- whilst of course it's all different now, thanks, and these scary modern day immigrants are all diseased drug dealers, not to mention "illegals".
Conveniently, they often forget to mention that immigration controls on those entering the USA are a recent phenomena- there were no illegal immigrants in the 19th century because there was no such thing as an illegal immigrant. The image of boatloads of people coming from the "Old Country" and landing in a welcoming New York (Vento's family among them) could not happen the same way today.
It reminds me of someone on the Daily Mail message board who talked about how, in the good old days, sure, there were criminals, but they were just Wide Boys, like Del and Rodney- see, "it all went wrong when the Jamaicans came over". Now it's all nasty immigrant thugs with no honour, who beat up women and children- that never happened in the old days. Cue lots of sage nodding, like a shelf of nodding dogs in Halfords, except instead of dogs it was little Moseleys.
Considering how often the left is accused of wearing rose tinted spectacles, of giving people too much rope, or seeing a damaged human being when we are "actually" looking at A CRIMINAL, and so on, this really pisses me off. |
