U.S. judge pens anti-immigration book - for kids!

The Minutemen Project, those America-lovin’, illegal immigrant not-lovin’ men and women from down south are currently hyping a new children’s book by a New York judge that teaches a lesson about unchecked immigration. Here is a description of the book from the Minutemen press release:

Judge Wilson tackles the topic of illegal immigration in an imaginative manner, and the publisher adds a colorful assortment of illustrations to the Judge’s metaphorical story of cartoon “hothouse flowers” which must resist the intrusion of weeds from outside the borders of the protected house.

Judge Wilson develops Hot House Flowers with a religious subtext. Christian parents will find this book very suitable for young children whose reading and reasoning skills are developing. With his carefully chosen language and the abundant illustrations, Judge Wilson emphasizes that the diversity on which America prides itself must be regulated and protected from within in order to preserve it.

Interestingly, the book — which looks quite pretty (see the link below) — was illustrated by Ukranian-born Marina Tsesarskaya. That’s right: a danged furriner. Perhaps that is why The Minutemen have not yet added it to their Book Club. (Also see below.)
