Started a new thread, eh?
Appearance wouldn't mean anything. As for their actions, they might not raise as much of an eyebrow if they assimilated better.

It has nothing to do with the blond, blue eyed part for me. Illegal is illegal. You don't have citizenship papers. You are NOT HERE LEGALLY. I don't give a crap if they speak English, Spanish, German, Russian.... ECT. Come here, work, pay taxes, raise your kids.
Don't be a criminal, Don't be a lag on society, And I don't give a flying flip if they like to hang out in front of Home Depot... but I could think of better things I would like to do. Money is money though. Maybe a temp agency would be nicer.

The fact that ANYONE is in this nation via illegal means is the problem.It has nothing to do with their appearances or actions (except for the desecration of the US flag) It has to do with the illegality of the act of being in the US period.Please stop making a real important issue seem only to be race/nationality/heritage related.The illegal alien causes many problems to this nation ,in the cost alone as well as flaunting our laws as if they don't apply to them.If they were fair/blond/and blue eyed they would still be illegal aliens and thus criminals that need to be deported.

Now, would legal aliens (ie. oh, I don't know, maybe AMERICANS ) be more palatable to Americans if they were...?

Don't we need to be concerned about the home-fire first?

Thinly veiled racism aside I really don't give a damn what you look like if you're here illegally then you need to be arrested and deported. End of story. I couldn't stomach twelve million illegal white people - English speaking or not - any more than I can stomach twelve million illegal Hispanics.

Skin color, hair color, eye color have nothing to do with it. My dear you are a RACIST! I can tell you that the Border Patrol has arrested over 100 different nationalities in the last fiscal year. They come from far and wide. They do not concentrate on only Mexicans. However the majority caught are Mexicans due to the simple fact that they are the closet to our borders. Stick that in your racist pipe and smoke it!

It's just like every other "foreigner" or "immigrant" scare in the past century or so..the Irish, the Chinese, the Germans, etc. This isn't even the first time our legislators and our country have been bickering over Mexicans coming over the border to work here. Cannabis was illegalized because of Harry J. Anslinger's blatantly false and racist testimony against Mexicans before Congress in the 1930s. Opium was targeted as a result of anti-Chinese sentiment, and rumors were planted about "evil chinamen seducing white women in their opium dens".

It has nothing to do with how they look. Fact is they are ILLEGAL!! They could be from Europe, Asia, Africa, Mars or wherever it would not matter.
Yes they should speak propper English and respect American laws, that's a given!!

You know what, I wonder that exact same thing as well....what if..what if? Really..
I mean, I never hear nobody complain about the so many undocumented Europeans living in the U.S..
Obviously the number of undocumented Europeans doesn't compare to the number of Latin immigrants,but if your sole problem with "illegal aliens", is that they have broken the law, then why not be fair and go after every body.
It's always "the Mexican aliens", "Mexican illegals".. I hear it all the time in the news, radio, mag. etc. WHY? Could it be that for many people immigration is just a race issue?? There are people here who want every single person who is here undocumented deported...12 million plus people deported?? Who the hell is going to pay 4 that? What about the lives those people lived, families, children, friends? It's just solid proof that for some people it's completely a race issue.

Of course! . . And it's such a shame, because real issues that need to be addressed (Why it's so difficult & beaurecratic to immigrate legally, the rampant corruption and poverty that drives Mexicans to the US, etc.) get all mixed up with bigotry and hate ideas of "patriotic" American white supremacy. . .Mexicans living in America are the new Irish. Look out in 20 years when the articulate, college-educated, AMERICAN children of today's hard-working illegal immigrants are "taking our jobs" for real!

You know the answer is yes. I'm not a fan of illegals coming here, but if they just had to, and there was nothing I could do about it, I'd prefer they be some hot Swedish bikini models.
