the majority of illegal immigrants were white, blond and with blue eyes? (oh... and a bank account in Switzerland)

No, I don't believe it would.

Nope! Another misuse of the word Racist...
Must be the Word of the Year...
Everything that anyone has an opinion on..... is Racist...
The racist labeling is losing it's effect, shrug it off.
Swiss Bank Account? How about ANY bank account?? Well maybe....Bank of America for one is embracing the nation's 12 million-plus illegal immigrants, targeting their financial products--checking accounts, mortgages and, now, credit cards--to help them achieve the American Dream, even if they're not legally entitled to be in the US.
Bank of America has "quietly" begun issuing credit cards to customers without social security numbers or credit history in Los Angeles--typically illegal immigrants.
Immigration may be a hot-button issue, but Bank of America's credit program is based on profits, not politics.

The real question you should ask is if whether or not illegal immigrants paid for social services. Most people's agruement about illegal immigrants is they use government assistance at a higher rate than legal or natural born citizens, nearly bankrupting hospitals, school systems, and sometimes whole towns.

I live in Texas, I have many Mexican friends and co-workers, I travel to Mexico on vacation, I even speak a little Spanish "hola"... I love Mexico, I don't have a problem with Mexicans.... If the same issues we are currently having was taking place on the Canadian border the outcry from responsible concerned Americans would be exactly the same.

The bank account would be the deciding factor, not the skin color.
It's always nice when the arrivals add something to the mix instead of detracting from it.

Perhaps to some morons. Illegals are criminals and should be treated accordingly. I don't give a rat's a** what their skin color is, or whether they have a bank account.

Of course it would. For the most part, it is NOT about illegal immigration, its about Mexican illegal immigration. You don't hear much about anyone else. I'm light skinned with green eyes and I've had people (Mexican American people who consider themselves White) tell I'm lucky I don't look Latina. They have it wrong, I'm lucky because I AM latina!!!!!!

Nope. Quit playing the race card. This is not about race.
This is about the fact that if they can't follow our laws BEFORE they are legal to be here, why should we think that they are going to follow our laws after (or IF) they are ever legal?
Playing the race card really makes liberals and illegals look desperate for a last-ditch argument.

No it has to do with being illegal no matter where you come from or what color your skin and eyes are.
