An MSNBC host has a very interesting take on the Flint water crisis.

While talking about the Flint water crisis, Melissa Harris-Perry actually compared the illegal aliens who are being affected by the poisoned water to runaway slaves. She claims that they are too afraid to speak up about the issue because they may be deported.

“I don’t want the Obama Administration’s final year to be marred by a fugitive slave law around the question of this deportation that leads in the context of Flint, to actual children being actually poisoned by land because their parents are too afraid to open the door for clean water.”

The assumption that illegals aliens living in an area with poisoned water are anything like fugitive slaves is intellectually dishonest at best. The slaves in America got no say in where they went or where they lived, something illegals can’t say. They voluntarily crossed the border, breaking the law. They chose to come to America without following the proper channels and becoming a legal American.

Nobody should have to worry that when they turn on the tap, the water that flows from it has unsafe levels of any chemical. No town in America should have to beg for drinkable water. No person, adult or child, should live in an area that is dangerous to their health.

That being said, to compare living in an area with dangerous water to being forced to work for no pay, no benefits and no option of ever being a free person is a blatant insult to every slave who ever existed. In an effort to stir up emotional support for her position on Flint, Harris-Perry is also stirring up racial tensions between two groups of people who aren’t comparable in the slightest.
