Reading results this morning from a simple NEWS search in Google for terms, "illegal immigration," I found this delirious doozy of false representation:

"God for Illegal Immigration"

Intrigued, to put it mildly, I accessed the link and found a May 02, 2008 column from one of my favorite opinionators, Father Jonathan Morris.

The actual headlne, as Father Jonathan has written it, and as FOX News has published it, reads:

"IS GOD FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION?"

In that article, Father Jonathan writes:

...Just as every immigrant has a right to be treated with dignity, every government has the right and obligation to regulate immigration to sustainable levels, for the good of its own citizens and its immigrants. Religious leaders should be saying this too, don't you think? Why aren't they? Some are.

...God is on the side of human rights and also on the side of legality and security. It is our problem if we choose one over the other and pretend that we are righteous.

Father Jonathan clearly emphasizes the importance of "the moral voice" and does not reject the importance of law enforcement, national security, nor lend any human -- or suggest any divine -- rationalization for individuals to plummet and exploit the legal requirements and boundaries of other nations, nor does he attempt to dismiss the culpability of those who exploit human beings as "cheap labor" and thus provide incentive to illegal aliens to exploit those requirements and boundaries.

However, to peruse Google's News search results, to scroll down through the headlines, the impression is decidedly edited to force a false 'divine' support for illegal immigration, and in reference to an article by a Catholic Priest, at that.

How many other headlines has Google opted to "edit" to tweak them into representing the opposite of what's stated?

This story from Michelle Malkin:

DUNKIN DONUTS CRACKS DOWN ON OPEN BORDERS FRANCHISES

First Dunkin' Donuts served up their wonderful coffee to our U.S. military in Iraq, and now they're proving themselves yet again to be the real American success story: taking the initiative in ensuring that their DD franchises nationwide verify U.S. citizenship and/or legal residency/work qualifications for those they employ.

I no longer consume donuts but if I ever have one again, I'll make sure it's from DD. And the DD coffee remains the best nationwide when you're on the road or around the corner -- it's fueled many a roadtrip and office hour for me in times past and will again if ever I'm near another DD location (but I see that they sell their products online -- a monthly coffee subscription looks inviting).

What a company. And how much brighter they shine than those companies and individuals nationwide who employ illegal aliens; consumers have yet to respond in kind but when we do, I think the message is going to be loud and clear and that is that the vast majority of U.S. consumers -- who also vote -- do not take lightly nor well to people in the U.S. who are employing illegal aliens and have created this current national crises we face today. Unfortunately, "a contingent from Florida leads the way" in lobbying for amnesty, as does agribusiness from California, Idaho and several other states. No wonder secrecy has been relied upon to attempt amnesty because now that it's become public what's taken place and who is involved, most of America is justifiably intolerant of what they're attempting. And there will be consumer backlash accordingly.

And then there's DD, who does what they do -- the right thing -- because they're legitimate and seek to do things the right way.

The Dustin Inman Society Blog is suggesting we Americans organize for April 17, 2006, as A DAY WITHOUT AMERICANS.

Don't shop, don't pay a cent of taxes by commerce, and, as The Dustin Inman Blog suggests, "a national day of public opposition to illegal immigration, April 17, 2006."

Good idea, although unlike the many thousands who ran around the United States this last week waving Mexican flags, most of us have responsibilities that require us to still participate in our society otherwise. I think a day without any commerce as protestation of illegal immigration is a good idea, however, and I support it.
