11:45 PM - IRONy J.G. Robinson reported in today's Oklahoman that Immigration Reform for Oklahoma Now (IRON) has set up a local chapter to help keep Oklahoma safe from those dangerous aliens percolating northward from the less civilized regions of the Americas. Now I'm just about as racist as the next biracial guy whose Puerto Rican father happens to resemble Mark Lloyd, but I cannot see the point in such fearmongering as this. Is anyone else out there overwhelmed by the irony implicit in IRON's efforts to keep immigrants of largely Native American descent out of a society built primarily by European settlers of the former Land of the Red Man? If those of overwhelmingly European descent now (daringly) calling themselves native Oklahomans cannot compete sucessfully in a free and open economy with those migrating up here desperately in search of hard work, perhaps they should consider moving to a more virulently socialist country with a tradition of blatantly racist protectionism, such as those from which their ancestors emigrated some time ago. If the Europeans cannot make use such folk, they could perhaps provide them with a social safety net of some sort. It is the least they can do in return for us taking their wretched, poor, starving masses yearning to be free. Tags: (
