US Rep. Hansen Clarke (D-Detroit): “I’m the son of an undocumented immigrant — and I’m proud to say that”

Only to a Democrat is the explicit violation of our laws a good thing. So much so that it gives them a sense of pride. Can you imagine a Congressman opining of how proud he is of his murderer father? His thief father? His drug-dealing dad? How's this different? From The Detroit Free Press: Detroit Congressman says he's proud to be son of illegal immigrant

U.S. Rep. Hansen Clarke (D-Detroit) told a crowd last night in Detroit that he was proud to be the son of an illegal immigrant.

Speaking at a forum about racial profiling of Latinos, Clarke — whose late father immigrated from what is now Bangladesh — said:

“I’m the son of an undocumented immigrant — and I’m proud to say that.”

And of course, he employed the tried and true Democrat ploy of conflating legal immigration with the illegal variety:

...Elected last year, Clarke is the first U.S. Congressman of Bangladeshi descent. He said at the forum that “we are a nation of immigrants,” noting the contributions of Latino immigrants to southwest Detroit.

We are a nation of LEGAL immigrants! But then towards the end of the piece, t was unclear if Hansen Clarke is truly the son of an illegal alien or a legal one and using the possibility for political gain:

After the hearing, Clarke told the Free Press that his father was “more than likely undocumented” when he came to the US. His father immigrated in the 1930s from pre-Partition India, then under British rule, and died in 1965.

And for the record, Chelsea Clinton-Whatever is proud that she's the daughter of an impeached chief exec who lied on the stand under oath.
