If you don't get what you want, we are racist.
If we insist that you obey laws, we are racist.
If people are punished for breaking the law, we are racist.
If people guard the borders, we are racist.
If illegals are deported, we are racist.
Using the race card is desperate means to get what you want. It no longer works .Don't you realize that the race card has been so misused that it no longer has any meaning to most people?

Absolutely correct. It's used as extortion against companies by people like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton.

What gets me is all the people who play the 'we're all just people' card.
Look at immigration this way. There's a street full of houses, it's a hot Summer. The owners of one of the houses builds a big swimming pool in their garden, fill it with water and dive in. They see their neighbour lookining from over the fence so they invite them in, but then the neighbour invites someone and soon the whole street are standing around the pool. Soon so many people are jumping in that those inside are no longer enjoying the water but they feel powerless to ask people to leave. The whole block is now waiting to get in, and why not, it's a hot day and the waters cold if crowded, but it's still better than being out in the heat.
Now is it the responsibility of the person who invested in the pool to let everyone use it even if he can no longer enjoy it? It's the right thing to do but surely his own rights are being impinged upon?

If you tell the truth and give facts to back them up you are a racists.The race card has reached it expiration date and no longer has any effectiveness.Why do you continue to use something so obviously out dated and so over used.Its just like any word that people use to demean
or cause people embarrassment,over use makes it common and somewhat acceptable.Like the "N" word to black Americans,maybe we anti illegals should use Racists to each other as a term of kinship the way that black people use the "N" word to each other.No not really.
Just kidding but do you get my point? Each time I here or read that word used it means to me that the other side has no real argument so they pull out the trusty race card and think they have addressed the issue.If you don't have a valid point then just don't answer.Don't just chicken out and scream RACISTS . Its really not effective any more.
Call me what ever you choose to call me,it doesn't matter to me.I am anti illegal from any nation,I strongly oppose any amnesty program for any illegals.
Build a fence or two ,place our active duty military armed on the borders and stop this once and for all.

Why not just END immigration, period, for about 10 years? Put a moratorium on it, politely explain to people that years of poor policy have really put a hurt on our country, and that, sorry, but for like 10 years, no immigration. Get the border fence built, ask among all 50 states that they come up with some ideas to help build a cohesive national policy on the issue, and end all the confusion. My view is, the country could use a break from what's really becoming a A Big Damn Mess. Maybe I'm just the lone voice in the wilderness, but...

You're absolutely right! Anyone who plays the race card is just trying to get the attention taken off of the true problem at hand. It's pathetic and old news. They can't keep blaming us for their failures.
Alberto - you're seriously misguided, or just plain ignorant. The KKK is like .999 percent of how real true Americans feel about this illegal immigration thing. Stop posting stupid answers just because you have nothing intelligent to say.

I didn't know illegal was a race. I always thought it was people from different parts of the world that were here in the US illegally. I'm really behind. what color and what country is this race from.

every human being is a member of a race and a gender. There are people of any race that does not like members of another race. Any time a person of a race (white,black or purple pokadot) says something, there are people of another race that are going to accuse the speaker of being a racist. However, if you look around and see people of your race and gender who have the "American dream" who except for yourself can you blame for your not having the "American dream" Racist has existed since the dawn of man and will be there at the end of times. However, I believe racist is an individual fault not a race fault as there are people who try to be fair and honest with all people they come into contact with whether or not that person is a member of his/her race or not.

Actually is not getting old but to the contrary, this is just the beginning.
Maybe you are getting tired of it but that's a sign that people are begging to recognize more and more about how much RACISM exists here against UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS from Mexico.
Heres proof that you re wrong AGAIN.

When you don't have any other excuse for being here illegally,bring out the race card,it always works,illegals and their supporters now have their race cards laminated and actually use them as ID cards,It's kind of ironic since mexican laws are ten times worse than the US,which would make mexicans the real racists

Yep! I think the 'race card' would've been a mute point long ago, except for the hate-mongers (namely Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton) who keep pulling them out of their hats. After all, if they couldn't play the race card, they would be out of a job..........
