How Typical of the UN

A UN inspector is in the United States to scrutinize America's treatment of illegal immigrants. Obviously, the UN bureaucrats aren't great believers in market forces . . . if the treatment were that terrible, no doubt fewer people would try to enter this country illegally.

Even so, it's so typical of the UN that they'd be inspecting this country, hoping to find a reason to denounce it on human rights grounds. In the meantime, it's worth asking whether they're examining the human rights issues surrounding the treatment of illegals by Mexico -- or, if human rights are that important, look into this disgraceful episode in China, where 288 children died in a fire because they were commanded to sit down in the fire-filled theater so that Communist Party figures could leave first.
