Why not try to prove a point instead of calling someone a racist?

Please, post some data that shows that people who are against illegal activity are racists. I'd like to see that! It's funny how many of the replies were awarded a thumbs down when they were just posting the truth.

"Because they're telling the truth. You all need to get over yourselves."
What exactly do I need to "get over"? That really doesn't make sense and neither do you.

I know what racism is, and wishing illegals stayed out of our country isn't racism. Calling everything you disagree with racist only cheapens what it REALLY is. People need to quit crying wolf or otherwise when racism really does happen people are going to close their eyes to it.

The sympathizers are using what ever argument they think people will buy into. They seem to think many people will do anything to keep from being called a racist. They are wrong though. Deport all illegals!

Have you by any chance looked up the word RACISM in the dictionary. It's something along the lines of discriminating against someone because of their beliefs or ethnic origins. Well, undocumented workers Believe they can come to this country to work and make a better life for themselves while Racist people want them kicked out because they are different. Because they don't know the language so well, becaues they are Mexican or another race.

Because a part of it does have to do with where they are coming from. The American people would be freaking out less if the illegals were coming mainly from Europe or Asia. People from Europe can get on a plane and come here within a few days and be a citizen. Where as some one from a county south of the border or lets say a Mexican citizen, for them to come here legally it takes on average anywhere from 2-6 years. These rules are such because there are so many people coming here from countries south of the border. Most countries south of the border an average weeks salary is like $15.00 .The jobs that most of them obtain here make like $6.00-$7.00 an hour which is like nothing.To them however its a lot.The government doesn't like that Latin people come here to make money and send the majority of that money made back to their motherland.They are easy to pick out as they speak a completely different language and are lighter than most African and Indian people and darker than most Caucasian and Asian people .Race indeed does play a part in it.

I don't care if what I had originally said made sense or not! Maybe if you used more of your brain, you'd at least understand somewhat of what I was trying to say. The so-called race card you claim is pulled by either some of the illegals or sympathizers to 'stall debate' isn't used to stall debate because they're telling the truth. Deal with it!
I still think you need to get over yourself, and so do most of the posters here need to do the same as well.

They have nothing else for they won't discuss such things as immigration policies of their own countries. Compared and contrasted to other policies, the policies of these United States are far more generous. They know this so they don't dare touch it. So, they refer back to the only tactic they've got, call you and me either racists or biggots.

Because they can't prove any point... they have had opportunity after opportunity, but I have yet to see someone who can convince me that lawbreaking on a massive scale is somehow good for America ... if and when they do, I'm willing to listen ....

It's supposed to scare you, like there's a punishment if someone accuses you of being racist. Upholding the laws have nothing to do with color.

Every body is using the race/bigot card for every argument any more. It is losing it's meaning, many people are beginning not to pay attention to it anymore.
