Which We Is That?
Democratic Senator Edward Kennedy today
attended an immigration rally, which means an
amnesty for illegal immigrants rally in Washington to show his support for the cause. However,
his speech proffers a possibly ill-interpreted turn of phrase:
And if we can't get this Congress to pass fair immigration reform now, we'll elect a new Congress in November that will pass it.
No doubt the
we means
the naturalized citizens and I, but given that he's speaking before a crowd that could, quite possibly contain some non-naturalized gente, doesn't it sound almost as though Edward Kennedy is exhorting illegal aliens to vote Democratic in November?
One could easily make that mistake, couldn't one?
