What is it with this whole race issue?

Question

I have seen people constantly arguing about whether or not "illegal" immigration has anything to do with race. It does not. The real issue here is classism, the poor are kept down by the rich who only get richer. The whole hate against "illegals" is just a plot by the rich to get the poor working class individuals to hate each other even more. We are all struggling to stay on the same little boat and it's sinking while they ride in their luxury liners. Whether you are legal or illegal, brown, white, yellow, red, you have to realize that all these issues of "illegals" and race is just a way to keep you under the tight control of the rich.

That's my opinion.

It has always been the rich who oppress. The rich spaniards who funded the genocide of the indigenous people of Mexico, central and south america. The rich europeans who funded the genocide of the apache, the kiowas, the cherokees, etc. The rich Americans who continued that genocide. The rich Germans who eradicated the jews.

Answer 1

I think it is an issue of ethnicity, class, and power.
However, I agree with most of what you said.
I have done my research and "illegal" immigration is not causing the problems they suggest it is.
