Exactly, and when the response is to call them bigots or racist some how does not apply. Anything seems to go under the banner of patriotism and attacking the most vulnerable is not seen as a racism if stating it under patriotism. Thanks for bringing this out, I thought I was the only one that noticed this.

Race doesn't matter with the basic issues:
a. Illegals commit a lot of crimes
b. Many have illegitimate anchor babies with which they collect citizen benefits.
c. Many smuggle drugs across the border.
d. Many join gangs- or their anchor-babies join gangs- that vandalize property, steal, sell drugs, etc.
e. Most move into ghetto areas which they turn into cesspools of crime, drug-dealing, illegitimacy, and third-world diseases. (And I've seen this happen in Chicago's illegal-Mexican ghettos.) A few manage to get fairly nice apartments or homes, but they ruin them after their cousins, their cousins' spouses, their distant cousins, their distant cousins' spouses, their aunts, their uncles, their grandparents, their nieces, their nephews, their close family friends start moving in with them, and/or their anchor-baby children start having illegitimate children during their teenage years.
I mentioned this on another board: "I know a girl who has nine other children in her family. Her two older sisters both have children- one is 15 and gave birth when she was 14; the other is 16 and had a baby about two months ago. Last I checked, her oldest brother also knocked up his girlfriend- and by some odd occurrence she had twins. (Who is paying for those four children?) They are illegals, live in a three-bedroom house, and only the father works. Now, for all of you pro-illegals: Please tell me how these people are good for America."
- Anyways, if you'll look at what I mentioned, you'll see that a lot of citizens that are "Latinos" go down the same path as the illegals. For example, last I checked: 43.5% of all Hispanic births are illegitimate. Now, although I am pretty sure that illegals and their anchor-babies account for a lot of this, you can't blame them entirely. (Although deporting the illegals would reduce these numbers.) We also must not forget that most illegals come in through the Mexican border- and most are of Hispanic decent.

You won't find those words in my answers (or questions) but hey, I notice they are in YOURS!
Hmmm....
Race is NOT a factor in the immigration debate. Those who come here illegally are illegals - I don't care who they are or where they are from. It so happens, laregely due to geography and the realities of life in Mexico and points south of there, that a large part of our immigration problem originates there and so naturally a large part of those who flaunt our immigration laws happen to be from certain countries and racial/ethnic groups. There's nothing wrong with noting this, but one should do so appropriately, not using terms which have negative connoations, terms which I point out again, YOU USED. This is a trick of the left to find a way to inject animosity into a debate. If you can bring in emotion logic suffers and it becomes not a debate but a bickering match with little hope of sensible resolution. Your loony lying leftist loser masters are teaching you well, grashopper.

I have never used any derogatory words in the description of any race,and I am very much anti-criminal /illegal.So you are using the vague term of majority(who's yours or mine) to make a point of some kind,and by doing so are painting any person that believes in our country's laws as a racist.It seems to me you are trying just a little too hard to be .....real. What part of illegal do you not understand,its a criminal offense,a Federal offense.

Have you noticed that when you cannot deal with an answer that you run and cry abuse? You are weak and cannot face the fact that most of what you want to ask is totally irrelevant to the more pressing problems that could be addressed.
Instead of attempting to provoke negative responses why don't you actually seek some positive solutions to the percieved problems that you create.

There IS some racism involved, but it would exist in my view independently of the border issue. However, the border issue isn't solely about race, and might only be partly about race, if even that much. We've had multi-racial society in america for decades, centuries. Today's problem consists of too many people trying to rush the border all at once, and blatantly disregarding the law. The end result is GOD only knows how many people are in our country illegally, and he isn't telling.
Don't go for the bait, if/when people throw the race card, just let it fall...

You forgot tacos, burritos, enchiladas, wet backs and greasers.
Just a bunch of school kids or racists doing that. The majority of us are sincerely anti-illegal when it comes to immigration, rape, robbery, murder, etc. etc. Makes no difference what the law is, if you break it you pay the consequences.

I think your idea of "majority" is a little distorted i see those words used very rarely and when they are used it it generally a retort to some other racist comment made by one of you pro-illegals

MYTH
Undocumented immigrants don’t pay taxes or contribute to the U.S. economy, and instead take advantage of social welfare programs.
“Controlling illegal immigration is also an issue of fairness to American taxpayers. Is it fair if people are using public services like schools and roads, but are not paying taxes?”
--Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman, May 4, 2006
FACT
The myth of “lazy” immigrants cheating U.S. taxpayers and living off welfare couldn’t be farther from the truth.
According to a 2004 study by the Urban Policy Institute, virtually all undocumented men--96 percent--and 62 percent of undocumented women are in the workforce. According to a March report from the Pew Hispanic Center, of the more than 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S., 7.2 million were employed in March 2005, making up approximately 4.9 percent of the labor force in the U.S.
Overall, immigrants--both documented and undocumented--are a huge boon to the U.S. economy. And as for what’s “fair,” the U.S. government takes far more from undocumented immigrants than it ever gives back.
In 2001, then-Federal Reserve Chair Alan Greenspan testified before Congress that in the state of Illinois alone, "[undocumented] workers pay $547 million in taxes yearly, compared to $238 million in services used"--a net “profit” for Illinois of $309 million. And according to a report in last year’s New York Times, each year, undocumented immigrants pay an estimated $7 billion more than they get from Social Security and $1.5 billion more than they get from Medicare.
The Internal Revenue Service issues “Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers” (ITINs) to allow undocumented workers to pay income taxes. Since 1996, 9.2 million of these numbers have been handed out. According to the Los Angeles Times, last year, 1.2 million people paid taxes using ITINs.

The same as it ever was-- racism...
Was this question really worth wasting 5 points?
But, I'm sorry to say this-- when disrespecting-- expect it in return. I never asked illegals to come here.. illegally...
That's disrespectful, to myself, American homeland, and fellow citizens. Is it not? Provide logic with your answer, and I'll perhaps reconsider my analogy.

lolol ... you'll have to do better than that I'm afraid ... check out what "the majority" of regular anti illegals post ... I'll challenge you to find the majority using pejorative words ... there really is no need for that you see ... now, if you're referring to a clique of schoolkids who want to play stupid games ... sure, I've seen them too, but you don't take them as being the majority of anti illegals, do you? Thought you had a brain cell or two ... maybe I was wrong ....
