with a few isolated accounts being the exception. I asked three times for someone to give me one account of white racism against Mexicans. Not 1 answer was given. So I guess the race card is out the window. So what was the reasoning behind pro-amnesty again?

White people aren't against Mexicans.
We are against Illegal Mexicans.
We don't like people uninvited and taking something that doesn't belong to them.
We don't need another president making them legal like Reagan did.
That was a one time thing. No more.
If they want to come here, do it legally like all the other good citizens from the rest of the world.

The race card is just one over-used tool to try and pave a path for Mexico to migrate en masse to 'el norte'.
We've got to reach a national consensus on this immigration thing, and further, it's not even just US vs. Mexico on illegal immigration anymore, it's a global thing. Australia's got it, europe's got it, and we've got it, basically anyplace in the world that's made something of itself over the last 100 years or so is now prime go-to real estate for the impoverished residents of other countries. This begs the question why other countries overdevelop their population bases, but underdevelop the economic and infrastructure resources necessary to support them.
The world today now holds some 6.6 billion people, approximately. That's a lot of people. Teeny lil' america only has 300 million people, if that, estimates vary, depending on which survey and if you count legal citizens or every pair of shoes walking around in our country today. It wasn't that long ago that there were only 250 million people, and a common politician catch-phrase is 'growth'. They sure like that growth, regardless of consequences...but, other nations and regions have been growing exponentially, India and China alone account for something like 1/3 the world's population all by themselves. So, that leaves us plus the rest of the world making up the other 2/3.
So, why the bum's rush to move to america? The perception that they can all roll right in and it's all good, we've got the 'welcome' sign on the door lit up etc. But, IS it 'all good', or have we started to reach the point where a decision needs to be made honestly and probably sooner rather than later?
It's up to the politicos, what they say/do, but some people are already getting highly vocal in their opposition to 'free for all' migration to the United States. The whole thing is opportunism taken one step further, and likely we won't see the end of the debate, or any real policy changes, for some time to come. What'd be nice, though, is if people spoke up in support of the US Border Patrol. That must be one royal ***** of a job, they could use the morale support, at least, and know that people are reading about some of the trials and tribulations they go through, as well as the challenges they face.
Personally, I think the Minutemen did a good thing by raising public awareness about it, it's not an easy problem to solve, nor again will it be solved overnight. It's going to take some hard work, and some thorough planning, to reverse the local illegal immigration, mainly from Mexico, but also the global trend.
No one's saying that it should be illegal to seek a new life and new opportunities, but most would tend to agree, I think, that it's best if such seeking were 100% legal and legitimate. Our beleagured immigration system is over-taxed by force of sheer demand, and that demand won't relax until there's a little more progress in some of the countries that these people come from.
No overnight solutions, but there's lots of good info on the web about the whole mess...

Immigrants that come to this u . s . a . legally might desire to settle for each risk to alter into electorate. Immigrants that come illegally might desire to be sent domicile so as that they are able to return back as criminal immigrants. the undertaking with unlawful immigrants from ANY u . s . a . is employers use them as slaves. they don't might desire to pay minimum salary through fact those workers won't be able to whinge. and because they don't might desire to pay minimum salary to them, they hire fewer criminal workers. If an amnesty software gets exceeded and illegals income from it, maximum will finally end up unemployed through fact now they are able to call for minium salary so as that they at the instant are not suited to their employers. a clean flood of illegals will safeguard the undertaking, nevertheless. Did you notice I in no way mentioned Mexicans? it rather is with the aid of the fact it fairly is not correct what u . s . a . illegals come from. all of them are preyed upon with the help of unscrupulous employers. Ask the chinese language.

I welcome ALL LEGAL IMMIGRANTS, regardless of where they originally came from.
But I'm tired of the US supporting all the illegal parasites that live just to feed off us.
