You can't make this up, nor can you understand how stupid Moran and his comrades in the Mass. Statehouse really are!
The best analysis is from John Derbyshire's RadioDerb:
07 — Law-hating lawmaker rear-ended by scofflaw. New Yorkers cherish the memory of the late Judge Bruce Wright, who presided over criminal courts in the city thirty years ago. The judge was known to one and all as "Turn 'Em Loose Bruce" for his lenience towards the criminals who came up before him, releasing or setting very low bail even for violent offenders. One day Judge Wright got mugged in the street near his home. He was off work for a few days. It was a big story in the tabloid newspapers, and a lot of people were making jokes about it. When Judge Wright returned to the bench, he made a point of starting off that day's session with an announcement: "As I'm sure you all know, I was the victim of a criminal assault the other day. I want to make it clear that this experience will in no way change my sentencing policies on this bench!" As he paused to let this sink in, someone called out from the back of the courtroom: "Mug him again!"
Now here is this generation's successor to Judge Wright: Massachusetts state representative Mike Moran. Rep. Moran has been an energetic supporter of open borders and illegal immigration. He has enthusiastically supported the policy of governor Deval Patrick to prohibit Massachusetts police from making any inquiries about a perp's immigration status. Massachusetts is a sanctuary state, the anti-Arizona, and Rep. Moran is just fine with that.
Well, there he was sitting in his car at a red light the other day when he was rear-ended at 60 mph. The vehicle that rear-ended him was driven by an illegal immigrant from Mexico, 27-year-old Isaias Naranjo. Mr. Naranjo was driving without a license and was seriously drunk — blood alcohol level 0.25, which is over three times the legal limit in Massachusetts and corresponds to "severe motor impairment" on the AMA chart. He was charged with DUI, leaving the scene of an accident and driving without a valid license. According to the police report, when told of these charges, Mr. Naranjo laughed and said that nothing would happen to him as he would just go back to, quote, "my country."
You might think that Rep. Moran, having been rear-ended at 60 mph by a guy who then threw all Moran's stupid pandering right back in his face, would see the light. That, however, would be to reckon without the insane fanaticism of the open-borders ideologues. Interviewed by Fox News later, Moran was asked whether the incident had changed his views on our immigration laws at all. Here's his response. I've edited it slightly for length, but you can watch the whole video at www.myfoxboston.com, search on the phrase "hit by illegal." This quote starts at 3m 11s into the main video, quote: "I have been and will continue to be pro-immigrant and in some cases even pro-illegal-immigrant. It would be politically expedient for me at this point in time to change that. That should give you some indication of my commitment to immigration and immigrants, to tell you that even after being hit by one I will continue to advocate for immigrants and their rights as citizens in this country."
Just pause to savor those last few words: "as citizens in this country." Rep. Moran is concerned about Mr. Naranjo's rights as a citizen in this country. He has also declared there, in his capacity as a maker of laws for the State of Massachusetts, that he is, quote, "pro-illegal immigrant." Here is a lawmaker advocating the violation of the people's laws.
Mit der Dummheit kämpfen Götter selbst vergebens, observed Schiller, and he was not wrong: "Against stupidity, the gods themselves struggle in vain." Wait a minute: I hear a voice calling from the back of the room: Rear-end him again!
