It's easier for the law breakers (illegal aliens) to get the focus off themselves and on to the people who do not want them here. Just call them "racist" to get sympathy.
Doesn't work with ME!

First of all, I wish everybody could get it through their heads that illegals are not immigrants. Illegals are aliens. Illegal immigrant is a term used by pro illegals to make it sound more like they have a right to belong here, just like they use racist to make it sound like those of us who are against illegal entry into this country are unreasonable. Both terms are political ploys, playing on words to influence simple minded people. If you are not simple minded quit using the term illegal immigrants and just consider the source when someone calls you a racist.

Because that is the only thing that the illegals can come up with to say back to us LEGAL citizens. I have no problem with the legal ones that try to earn an honest living, are not on welfare, fly the American flag, speak English, and try to blend into our culture. I hate the legal ones that don't do all of those things, as well as the illegals, no matter if they learn English, work hard or not, they are ILLEGAL. If they want to be here they need to be here legally, plain and simple. Its not racist, its about if you follow the law or not.

and pro illegals is just a term the racists use against people who are not racists.... when they forget to put the word illegal in front of the word Mexican.. that is a racist. When they talk about the 300 kids.. that's racist.. go back and read some of the questions and answers and then tell me it is about illegal immigration.

Because, sadly, most of those speaking out against immigration are racists who are just using the issue as a smokescreen. Those with unbiased opposed opinions get lumped in with the bigots because they are so vastly outnumbered. It is grossly unfair. There are many valid point to be made against illegal immigration, independent of race concerns. These pitiable fools are ruining the neccessary dialog of a successful democracy.

Being Anti-Immigration is not to be considered racist .This immigration problem can be fixed so ,so fast as I have mentioned in the past . Know when you start a sentence with go back to Mexico you beaner and so on know that is when it becomes racist issue.Again being against immigration is not to be mistaken by anyone as racist.

Racist? Last time I checked, "illegal alien" was NOT a race of people. Entering a country illegally is an act, which happens to be a crime. So we are actually against criminals, not a race of people, regardless of who commits the crime.

But yes thats why they try to pull the race card because they know their wrong and are trying to save their *** by justifying theyer being here.
